A memory clock frequency is 100 MHz. With data being transferred 64 bits a time over the bus,
what is the transfer rate in MB per second for DDR2 and DDR3 .
Answer:-
-->With a memory clock frequency of 100MHz,DDR2 gives a maximum transfer of 3200MB/s
-->With a memory clock frequency of 100MHz,DDR3 gives a maximum transfer of 6400MB/s

2) (10 points) Consider a microprocessor driven by an 8-MHz input clock, with a 16-bit external data bus. Assume that this microprocessor has a bus cycle whose minimum duration equals 4 input clock cycles. A bus cycle is the number of clock cycles required to accomplish a task (such as data transfer). What is the maximum data transfer rate across the bus that this microprocessor can sustain, in bytes?
A byte-addressable memory system contains four memory modules each of which is 32 bits wide by 2^28 cells deep. The system employs a 1 MB 2-way set associative cache with 128-byte cache lines. It also uses a 32-bit CPU-to-memory data bus as well as 32-bit physical addresses. Each memory module requires 4 clock cycles to perform either a read or a write operation. a) Assuming that the memory system is low order interleaved, show the proper 32-bit format for physical...
1. A hard disk drive transfers data 8 bytes at a time and has a peak data rate of 8 MB/s. To make sure old data is not overwritten by new data in the device buffer during an input operation, the processor must sample the buffer at a rate of 8 MB/81000 K times per second Assume that each such interrogation and the associated data transfer takes 800 clock cycles in a processor with a 2.5 GHz. What fraction of...
If a data bus has a width of 64 bits with a speed of 5 GT/s, then what is its total bit rate in Gb/s(here 'b' means bit)?
Q4. CISC/RISC and Cache Memory (24pts) Q4-1. Assume that UltraSpark-like processor has an L1 cache with the following specifications: 40-bit wide address and 64-bit wide data busses On-chip instruction cache Cache is 16K bytes, organized as a 2-way set associative Cache line (block) size = 64 bytes 200 MHz clock frequency Average cache hit rate = 90% Instructions located in cache execute in 1 clock cycle Instructions that are not found in the on-chip cache will cause the processor to...
What is the time for main memory to transfer a block of size 64 to main memory. The time for the address is 10 cycles, the time for data is 2 cycles. Solve for a) no optimization b) K= 4 c) M=4 d) K=2, M=2
Question 4 - [25 Points] Part (a) - Average Access Time (AMAT) The average memory access time for a microprocessor with One (1) level (L1) of cache is 2.4 clock cycles - If data is present and valid in the cache, it can be found in 1 clock cycle If data is not found in the cache, 80 clock cycles are needed to get it from off- chip memory Designers are trying to improve the average memory access time to...
1. Cache memory (8pts) Consider adding cache to a processor-memory system design. The microprocessor without cache needs 12 clock cycles to read a 16-bit word from the memory. With cache, it takes only 4 clock cycles if the data happens to be in the cache and a total 20 clock cycles including the cache misses. a. What is the performance ratio of the cache system to the non-cache system given a hit rate of 80%? b. For what hit rate...
