Cache is faster than RAM because it is located closer to the CPU, allowing quicker access without the need for a bridge. RAM is faster than hard disks due to its direct connection to the CPU, while hard drives must communicate through slower interfaces like SATA or IDE. The hierarchical structure of memory storage explains these speed differences, with cache being the fastest, followed by RAM, and then hard disks. This design optimizes performance by ensuring the most frequently accessed data is readily available. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for improving computing efficiency.
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI.
(I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots.
That is a promising start. :smile:
But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
