Question: Consider a program that can execute with no stalls and a CPI of 1 if the underlying processor can somehow magically service every load instruction
Consider a program that can execute with no stalls and a CPI of if the underlying processor can somehow magically service every load instruction with a cycle L cache hit. In practice, of all load instructions suffer from an L cache miss, of all load instructions suffer from an L cache miss, and of all load instructions suffer from an L cache miss and are serviced by the memory system An L cache miss stalls the processor for cycles while the L is looked up An L cache miss stalls the processor for cycles while the L is looked up An L cache miss stalls the processor for an additional cycles while data is fetched from memory. What is the CPI for this program if of the program's instructions are load instructions?
