Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You have a system with a miss rate of 5% and a hit time of 80 ns. If the miss penalty is 200 ns, calculate the effective memory access time.

💡 Hint: Use the effective memory access formula discussed.

Challenge 2 Hard

Explain in detail how using FIFO for page replacement could lead to suboptimal performance in certain access patterns.

💡 Hint: Think about how a continuous loop in access could hinder memory efficiency.
