b) The average memory access time for a microprocessor with 1 level of cache L1 is 2.6 clock cycles. If data is present and valid in the cache, it can be found in 1 clock cycle. If data is not found in the cache, 80 clock cycles are needed to get it from main memory. Calculate the miss rate of this cache L1 ?

Assume the miss rate of an instruction cache is 4% and the miss rate of the data cache is 5%. If a processor has a CPI of 3 without any memory stalls, and the miss penalty is 50 cycles for all misses, determine how much faster a processor would run with a perfect cache that never missed. Assume the frequency of all loads and stores is 44%.
Assume we have a computer where the clocks per instruction is 1.0 when all memory accesses hit in the cache. The only data accesses are loads and stores and these total 50% of the instructions. If the miss penalty is 25 clock cycles and the miss rate is 2%, how much faster would the computer be if all instructions were cache hits?
If memory read cycle takes 100 ns and a cache read cycle takes 20 ns, then for four continuous references, the first one brings the main memory contents to cache and the next three from cache. Find the time taken for the Read cycle with and without Cache? What is the Percentage speedup obtained?
Assume that we are having a computer with the following characteristics: 1MB of main memory; word size of 1 byte; block size of 16 bytes; and cache size of 64 KB. For the main memory addresses of FF010, the corresponding set number for a four-way set associative cache will be?
Suppose that a program when it executes in a CPU it achieves average CPI=1. Suppose that 40% of the instructions of the program are causing data accesses out of which 5% are cache misses. Each cache miss has 100 cycles delay. What is the CPI for the program when considering the cache misses? • 1 • 4 • 2 • 3

Consider a system that has multiple processors where eachprocessor has its own cache, but main memory is shared among allprocessors.1. a) Which cache write policy would you use?2. b) The cache coherency problem. With regard to the systemjust described, what problems are caused if a processor has acopy of memory block A in its cache and a second processor,also having a copy of A in its cache, then updates mainmemory block A? Can you think of a way (perhaps morethan one) of preventing this situation, or lessening itseffects?
Because volatile RAM (Random Access Memory) already exists, what's the point of using a slower, less reliable cache memory instead?The electrical components called transistors are used in both random access memory (RAM) and cache memory.
