Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Consider a system with a clock rate of 1 GHz and a base CPI of 2. If the miss rate is 5% with a miss penalty of 40 cycles, calculate the effective CPI.
💡 Hint: Use the formula relating base CPI to miss rate.
Question 2
If a CPU has a miss rate of 20% and a miss penalty of 100 cycles, how does this impact the effective CPI if the base CPI is 1.5?
💡 Hint: Remember to multiply the miss rate with the miss penalty.
