Question: A computer has a main memory with access time M , and a disk with average access time per page D . The only accesses
A computer has a main memory with access time and a disk with average access time per page The
only accesses attempted to main memory are due to cache misses. Of these, a fraction hit in the TLB
yielding a valid translation. Of the fraction that miss in TLB a fraction are present in physical
memory; the rest page fault. Assume that page table accesses always themselves take cycles as they are
always in main memory. What is the average main memory access time ignoring any software overhead?
Hint: Consider three cases: TLB hit; TLB miss with no page fault; TLB miss with page fault.
