The access time of a word in 4 MB main memory is 100 ms. The access time of a word in a 32 kb data cache memory is 10 ns. The average data cache bit ratio is 0.95. The efficiency of memory access time is
9.5 ns
14.5 ns
20 ns
95 ns
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Access time = 0.95 x 10 + 0.05 x 100.

How do we get 0.05 hit rate from main memory?

Abarna said:   8 years ago
@Heena.

Hit rate only they said in formula 1-0.95 is 0.05 only, that's applied there.

1-0.095=0.05 according to the formula

Here, T(avg)=h*Tc+(1-h)*M.

where,
T(avg)=Average time.

h=bit rate,(1-h)=Min Rate,
Tc=Time to access information from cache,
M=Miss Penalty(Time to main memory).
