Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A process has a TLB hit rate of 90%, and a page fault rate of 10% with an average access time of 20 cycles for hits and 100 cycles for page faults. Calculate the effective access time.

💡 Hint: Use the formula for effective access time, weighing hit and fault rates.
