A direct mapped cache memory of 1 MB has a block ize of 256 bytes. The cache has an access time of 3 ns and a hit rate of 94%. During a cache miss, it takes 20 ns to bring the first word of a block from the main memory, while each subsequent word takes 5 ns. The word size is 64 bits. The average memory access time in ns (round off to 1 decimal place) is _____.

A certain processor uses a fully associative cache of size 16 kB. The cache block size is 16 bytes. Assume that the main memory is byte addressable and uses a 32-bit address. How many bits are required for the Tag and the Index fields resectively in the addresses generated by the processor?

The chip select logic for a certain DRAM chip in a memory system design is shown below. Assume that the memory system has 16 address lines denoted by A₁₅ to A₀. What is the range of addresses (in hexadecimal) of the memory system that can get enabled by the chip select (CS) signal?

A $$32$$-bit wide main memory unit with a capacity of $$1$$ $$GB$$ is built using $$256M\,\, \times \,\,4$$-bit $$DRAM$$ chips. The number of rows of memory cells in the $$DRAM$$ chip is $${2^{14}}.$$ The time taken to perform one refresh operation is $$50$$ nanoseconds. The refresh period is $$2$$ milliseconds. The percentage (rounded to the closest integer) of the time available for performing the memory read/write operations in the main memory unit is __________.
