Real microprocessors operate in time slots of a given duration (i.e. , an integer multiple of the clock period). For example, if the clock has a speed of 100 MHz, the clock cycle time is 10 ns, and all operations must take an integer number of 10 ns units. The following data gives the clock cycle time of a processor t eye and the access time of the main memory till (including all overheads such as address decoding). In each case, calculate the actual time required to access the memory.
