Please let me know if these are true or false! In multiprocessors with a shared physical main memory, an access to a word of main memory always takes about the same amount of time no matter which word is being accessed and by which processor: T/F? When reading data from a magnetic disk, the rotational latency increases linearly with the size of the request: T/F? SSD is faster to access than magnetic disk, but slower than DRAM main memory: T/F? The primary purpose of RAID is for data backups: T/F? Typically, data parallelism offers greater opportunities for achieving highly-parallel execution than does functional parallelism: T/F? In MIPS systems, one way to implement locks is with the MIPS test-and-set machine language instruction: T/F?
