Memory

Cache memory systems and virtual memory systems share certain objectives.

a. Explain what a cache is and what its purpose is. Also describe what data gets placed into the cache, and when it is put there.

b. Explain what virtual memory is and what its purpose is. Also describe when and how pages are moved between virtual memory and main memory.

c. Detail ALL features that cache and virtual memory have in common.

Memory

There are events that are clearly negative that produce memories more vivid than almost any positive memory. I can recall with very great detail where I was when I first heard about the World Trade Center attack in 2001. I can recall many events from that day very specifically. I can recall quite vividly where I was when the shuttle Challenger exploded but I could not for the life of me tell you anything about what I was doing when I learned that the shuttle Columbia burned on reentry. What do you think is different about these negative events that some can recalled so vividly?

Memory

Forgetting can occur as the result of many different types of actions (e.g., you may not have the correct cue for retrieval); however, there are some individuals that would argue that forgetting is an intentional act and that in order to forget something one must make a conscious effort to do so. Do you support this reasoning? Why or why not?
