Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Analyze a situation in a computing system where the TLB size is reduced significantly. What would be the expected impact on performance, and why?

💡 Hint: Consider how cache sizes affect access speeds.

Question 2

Suppose a TLB has a hit rate of 80%. If a CPU generates 10,000 memory requests, how many of those would you expect to be TLB hits and how many would be misses?

💡 Hint: Use basic percentage calculations to determine hits and misses.
