[4 points] We want to evaluate the processor with one cache. The processors
base CPI is 1 and clock rate is 4 GHz. Assume that the miss rate per
instruction is 2% and main memory access time is 100ns.
1. What is an effective CPI (total CPI) with one level caching? (Total CPI
= Base CPI + Memory-stall cycles per instruction)
2. We want to add one more cache (L-2 cache) to the same system
presented in question # 1 and evaluate it. Its access time is 5 ns and
global miss rate to main memory is 0.5%. What is an effective CPI
(total CPI) with two level caching? (Total CPI = Base CPI + Primary
stalls per instruction + Secondary stalls per instruction)
