Problem
Solutions: Wait State: A wait state is a phase during the execution of a program in which the processor must wait one or more clock cycles until memory is able to respond to the processor's request. A wait state is a pausing cycle in CPU operation that lets the microprocessor synchronize with slower memory. 'Zero Wait State' - no waiting: If memory is slower than the processor, the system is said to be bus bound. If the processor is slower than memory, the system is processor bound. The ideal memory system is one in which the rate that memory can supply data to the processor matches the rate that the processor can execute code. This definition was taken from the public domain program named PC-Glossary. |
