Computer Organization and Architecture

  1. The use of multiple register windows with overlap causes a reduction in the number of memory accesses for
    1. function locals and parameters
    2. register saves and restores
    3. instruction fetches
    1. 1 only
    2. 2 only
    3. 3 only
    4. 1, 2 and 3
Correct Option: A

1. Function locals and Parameters :- This is true because overlapped registers eliminates the need for memory accesses. We here got to use registers instead.
2. Register saves and restores :- This is false because as register saves and restores would still be required for each and every variable.
3. Instruction fetches :- It is also false as instruction fetch is not affected by memory access using multiple register windows.
