Given the following cache performance parameters: hit time = 2 ns, miss rate = 0.1, miss penalty = 10 ns. We are designing a fast memory system. (10 pts) a. What is the average access time of the memory system? b.If we add a level two cache with the following performance parameters: hit time = 3 ns, miss rate = 0.04, miss penalty = 10 ns, what is the new average access time of the memory system? c. Suppose a new DRAM technology for main memory makes the average access time of the memory system to be 2.5 ns. What is the access time of the new memory?
