AMD Interview Questions & Answers

Q: What is cache memory?

A: Cache memory is a small, fast memory layer that sits between the CPU and main memory and holds frequently accessed data and instructions. It cuts average access time by serving hot data before the processor has to reach slower RAM.

Answer by AI
  • It's a high-speed buffer between CPU registers and main memory, usually organized in levels L1, L2, and L3.
  • Works on locality of reference, both temporal (reused data) and spatial (nearby data), to raise hit rate.
  • A cache hit returns data fast, a miss forces a slower main-memory fetch and a line refill.

Q: What is the difference between a process and a thread?

A: A process is an independent program in execution with its own memory space, while a thread is a lighter unit of execution that runs inside a process and shares that process's memory. Threads communicate more cheaply but a crash in one can affect others in the same process.

Answer by AI
  • A process owns a separate address space, threads within it share code, data, and heap.
  • Context switching between threads is cheaper than between processes.
  • Threads share memory so they need synchronization, processes are isolated and safer but heavier.

Q: What is virtual memory in an operating system?

A: Virtual memory is a technique that gives each program the illusion of a large, contiguous address space by mapping virtual addresses to physical memory and disk. It lets programs run even when they need more memory than is physically installed.

Answer by AI
  • The OS and MMU translate virtual addresses to physical frames using page tables.
  • Pages not in RAM live on disk and are brought in on demand, causing page faults.
  • It enables isolation between processes and lets total virtual size exceed physical RAM.

Q: Implement a queue using stacks.

A: Use two stacks, an input stack and an output stack. Push always goes to the input stack, and on a pop or peek you move everything to the output stack only when it's empty, which restores first-in-first-out order.

Answer by AI
  • Push: put the element on the input stack in O(1).
  • Pop or peek: if the output stack is empty, drain the input stack into it, then pop from output.
  • Amortized O(1) per operation because each element is moved at most once between stacks.
