So although the disparity between processor and memory speed is already an issue, downstream someplace it will be a much bigger one. Hence computer designers are faced with an increasing Processor - Memory Performance Gap 1, which now is the primary obstacle to improved computer system performance. This article examines this problem as well as its various solutions.
