Assume that the read and write miss penalties are the same and ignore other write stalls.

. Find an average time (TN) to read 50 words of memory. Here we suppose the data transfer rate between CPU and a memory is 500bps. Also assume that a cache hit is 1 clock cycle and a miss penalty is 5 clock cycle. Miss rate is 0.049 for a data cache and time unit is sec.
Take into account the following scenario: we have a byte-addressable computer with 2-way set associative mapping, 16-bit main memory addresses, and 32 blocks of cache memory. Since there are 8 bytes in a block, you can use that information to calculate how big the offset field has to be.
Suppose that a computer has a processor with two L1 caches, one for instructions and one for data, and an L2 cache. Let τ be the access time for the two L1 caches. Themiss penalties are approximately 15τ for transferring a block from L2 to L1, and 100τ fortransferring a block from the main memory to L2. For the purpose of this problem, assumethat the hit rates are the same for instructions and data and that the hit rates in the L1 andL2 caches are 0.96 and 0.80, respectively.(a) What fraction of accesses miss in both the L1 and L2 caches, thus requiring accessto the main memory?(b) What is the average access time as seen by the processor?(c) Consider the following change to the memory hierarchy.

Consider a computer with 128 MB of main memory, 64 KB of cache, and 4 bytes per memory block. Find out how to split the address (s-r, r, w) so that it can be used for direct mapping.Find out how to split the address into two parts (s and w) for associative mapping.Find out how to split the address into three parts (s-d, d, and w) for set associative mapping. Assume that each cache set has two lines.
Let's pretend for a moment that we have a byte-addressable computer with fully associative mapping, 16-bit main memory addresses, and 32 blocks of cache memory.
