Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A new process is created in a system with a TLB. If the system architecture has a TLB with 256 entries and a hit rate of 99.5%, how many misses would you expect in 10,000 memory accesses?
💡 Hint: Use basic probability to calculate the expected misses.
Question 2
