Fast practice, instant feedback. Timer auto-submits when time’s up.
Avg score: 87% Most missed: “Which cache miss does not occur in case of a fully associative cache?”

Multicore Architecture refers to an architecture in which a single physical processor incorporates the core logic of more than one processor. A single integrated circuit is used to package or hold these processors. These single integrated circuits are known as a die.
 

Multicore programming has multiple system tasks executing in parallel.

Types of parallelism include: Data parallelism. Task parallelism.
