Assume a main memory access time of 36 ns and a memory system capable of a sustained transfer rate of 16 GiB/s. If the block size is 64 bytes, what is the maximum number of outstanding misses we need to support assuming that we can maintain the peak bandwidth given the request stream and that accesses never conflict. If the probability of a reference colliding with one of the previous four is 50%, and we assume that the access has to wait until the earlier access completes, estimate the number of maximum outstanding references. For simplicity, ignore the time between misses. Assume a main memory access time of 36 ns and a memory system capable of a sustained transfer rate of 16 GiB/s.
