i. Processor A has only L1 cache memory 64Kbyte 16-way set-associative. Processor B has only L1 cache memory 64Kbyte 8-way set-associative. Which processor has better cache performance? Why? ii. Which cache memory has a better performance, one with a high or one with a low miss penalty? iii. Processor A has L1 cache memory 32Kbyte 8-way set-associative and L2 cache memory 32Kbyte 4-way set-associative. Processor B has only L1 cache memory 128 Kbyte 8-way set-associative. Compare between them in terms of hit ratio and miss penalty? Three storage devices in the memory hierarchy of a computer have the following access times: 200ms, 50ns, 10ms. 1. Which device has the highest data transfer rate? 2. Which one has the lowest cost? 3. List these devices starting with the nearest to the CPU. i.
