How does bus architecture interact with memory speed to affect overall system performance?

hard📝 Application Q9 of 15
ARM Architecture - Bus Architecture
How does bus architecture interact with memory speed to affect overall system performance?
AMemory speed does not affect bus performance
BA fast bus with slow memory limits data transfer speed
CBus architecture controls memory size directly
DMemory speed only affects CPU clock speed
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand bus and memory speed roles

    Bus transfers data; memory speed determines how fast data can be read or written.
  2. Step 2: Analyze interaction effect

    If memory is slower than bus, bus waits, reducing effective throughput.
  3. Final Answer:

    A fast bus with slow memory limits data transfer speed -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Bus speed limited by slowest component [OK]
Quick Trick: Slow memory bottlenecks fast bus [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming memory speed is irrelevant
  • Thinking bus controls memory size
  • Confusing memory speed with CPU clock
