Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
In a system where 25% of memory accesses result in a miss, and each miss incurs a penalty of 100 cycles, calculate the overall impact on CPU performance if the base CPI is 1.5.
💡 Hint: Follow the formula and apply realistic values from the problem.
Analyze a scenario where memory access time spikes due to increased miss rates. How would this reflect on application performance over time in a real-time computing environment?
💡 Hint: Consider the compound effects of waiting on process requirements and time-critical applications.
