Consider a processor executing a program with 10% memory access instructions. The system uses virtual memory with TLB and 4KB pages, single-word PTEs (page table entries), caches with physical tags, separate L1 instruction and data caches, and unified L2 cache. The base CPI of the processor, including cache access times, but considering an ideal TLB (without misses) is 2. Accesses to the TLB have no delay. Memory accesses take 180 cycles. Complete handling of a page fault takes 1,000,000 cycles. Consider that the TLB has a miss rate of 0.1%(equal value for instruction and data TLB). Of these misses, 0.01% are page faults. What is the system CPI considering virtual memory?
