hit/miss

hit/miss

[Ankit Jain]

Consider a two-level memory hierarchy system M1 & M2.
M1 is accessed first and on miss M2 is accessed. The
access of M1 is 2 nanoseconds and the miss penalty
(the time to get the data from M2 in case of a miss)
is 100 nanoseconds. The probability that a valid data
is found in M1 is 0.97. The average memory access time
will be how much?

if somebody can solve this?

thanks 

ankit

If you cannot solve this yourself, you might want to
complain to your teacher for not telling you how to
do your homework ;)
