Types of database architectures

A Database Architecture represents the Database Management System’s (DBMS) design (schema). The DBMS architecture makes it easy to understand the components involved in the database system and their relations. The DBMS architecture may vary based on the system on which it runs. Some systems contain both client and server machines whereas some run only on a server machine. Based on the architecture, the system can be classified as centralized, decentralized, or hierarchical.

Question

Compute Average Memory Access Time (AMAT) for a system that consists of a 2-
level cache design. There the hit rates are 50% for the smaller (L1) cache and 96% for
the larger (L2) cache. L1 access time is 1 cycle, L2 access time is 5 cycles, and a
memory access time is 20 cycles.
