Think about the definitions you've learned.
A processor operating on a hit ratio of 0.90 experiences 100,000 memory accesses. How many cache hits and misses does it encounter?
Use the definitions of hit and miss ratios to calculate.
If a system has a miss penalty of 20 milliseconds, and 10% of memory accesses result in misses, what is the average time lost due to cache misses for 100,000 memory accesses?
Think about how to calculate total time lost based on misses and penalties.
