A computer has a memory hierarchy consisting of two-level cache (L1 and L2) and a main memory. If the processor needs to access data from memory, it first looks into L1 cache. If the data is not found in L1 cache, it goes to L2 cache. If it fails to get the data from L2 cache, it goes to main memory, where the data is definitely available. Hit rates and access times of various memory units are shown in the figure. The average memory access time in nanoseconds (ns) is _________ . (Rounded off to two decimal places)

Consider two set-associative cache memory architectures: WBC, which uses the write back policy, and WTC, which uses the write through policy. Both of them use the LRU (Least Recently Used) block replacement policy. The cache memory is connected to the main memory. Which of the following statements is/are TRUE?

A

A read miss in WBC never evicts a dirty block

B

A read miss in WTC never triggers a write back operation of a cache block to main memory

C

A write hit in WBC can modify the value of the dirty bit of a cache block

D

A write miss in WTC always writes the victim cache block to main memory before loading the missed block to the cache

A given program has 25% load/store instructions. Suppose the ideal CPI (cycles per instruction) without any memory stalls is 2. The program exhibits 2% miss rate on instruction cache and 8% miss rate on data cache. The miss penalty is 100 cycles. The speedup (rounded off to two decimal places) achieved with a perfect cache (i.e., with NO data or instruction cache misses) is ______

A 4 kilobyte (KB) byte-addressable memory is realized using four 1 KB memory blocks. Two input address lines (IA4 and IA3) are connected to the chip select (CS) port of these memory blocks through a decoder as shown in the figure. The remaining ten input address lines from IA11-IA0 are connected to the address port of these blocks. The chip select (CS) is active high.
