Consider a microprocessor that has a memory read timing as shown
in Figure 3.18.
After some analysis, a designer determines that the memory falls
short of providing
read data on time by about 180 ns.
a. How many wait states (clock cycles) need to be inserted for
proper system opera-
tion if the bus clocking rate is 8 MHz?
b. To enforce the wait states, a Ready status line is employed.
Once the processor
has issued a Read command, it must wait until the Ready line is
asserted before
attempting to read data. At what time interval must we keep the
Ready line low in
order to force the processor to insert the required number of wait
states?

A microprocessor has a decrement memory direct instruction, which subtracts 1 from the value in a memory location. The instruction has five stages: fetch opcode (two bus clock cycles), fetch operand address (five cycles), fetch operand (five cycles), subtract 1 from operand (four cycles), and store operand (two cycles). a. By what amount (in percent) will the duration of the instruction increase if we have to insert one bus wait state in each memory read and memory write operation? b....
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...
