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...
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...

Assume the cache can hold 64 kB. Data are transferred between main memory and the cache in blocks of 4 bytes each. This means that the cache is organized as 16K=2^14 lines of 4 bytes each. The main memory consists of 16 MB, with each byte directly addressable by a 24-bit address (2^24 =16M). Thus, for mapping purposes, we can consider main memory to consist of 4M blocks of 4 bytes each. Please show illustrations too for all work. Part...
Problem #3: Assume you have a 4.332 MHz master clock as an input to your counter, and you need to generate evenly-spaced single-cycle pulses to enable a digital audio circuit at a target rate of 44,100 Hz. How many master clock cycles occur for every output pulse? Show your calculation. a) b) Since the result is fractional, round it to the nearest whole number. Assuming you use a Modulo-N counter to generate the single-cycle pulses, what is the minimum counter...
Consider the organization of address bus and data bus in the following two ways • The address bus operates in parallel with the data bus • The address bus is multiplexed with the data bus i) Compare and contrast the two modes of operations. You should briefly explain their advantages and disadvantages. ii) With the aid of a diagram, explain what is burst mode and how burst mode can improve the efficiency of address buses. b) A machine is running...
