Given the following processor configuration of processor P1(assuming 5 cache levels to main memory).

Assume base CPI=1 without memory stalls. Assume L1 hit occurs within base CPI.
L1 access time =1 cycle (accounted for within base CPI). L1 hit rate =60%.
L2 access time =10 cycles. L2 miss rate =20%.
L3 access time =50 cycles. L3 hit rate =50%.
L4 access time =200 cycles. L4 miss rate =60%.
The AMAT for the entire system is 30 cycles.
Round the answer to the nearest integer. You can either round up or round down. For example, if you have the answer 1.5,1 or 2 is acceptable.
DO NOT PUT ANY EXTRA SPACES in your answer.
Find the access time (expressed in cycles) for the main memory.
70% of instructions access the L1 data cache. Find the overall CPI of the given processor P1.
