A system has a cache access time of 10 ns and a memory access time of 100 ns. On a miss the memory is accessed after the cache (total 110 ns). If the hit ratio is 0.9, what is the effective access time?

  • A11 ns
  • B20 ns
  • C29 ns
  • D19 ns
Correct answer: B

Explanation

EAT = 0.9 × 10 + 0.1 × 110 = 9 + 11 = 20 ns.
