Course Goal/Objective

Describe how concepts such as RISC, pipelining, cache memory, and virtual memory have evolved to improve system performance.

Instructions

In this short research paper, you will investigate the evolution of and current trends in improving system performance with concepts such as RISC, pipelining, cache memory, and virtual memory. In this paper you must, as part of your conclusion, explicitly state the concept or approach that seems most important to you and explain your selection.

A minimum of two references is required for this paper. At least one article should be from a peer-reviewed journal. If you use Web sites other than the article databases provided by the UMGC Library in your research, be sure to evaluate the content you find there for authority, accuracy, coverage, and currency.
