For a data cache with a 92% hit rate and a 2-cycle hit latency, calculate the average memory access latency. Assume that latency to memory and the cache miss penalty together is 124 cycles.

Using the Average Memory Access Latency relation, the AMAT value in the scenario described would be 11.92 ns

Given the Parameters :

  • Hit rate = 92%
  • Hit latency = 2 cycle
  • Latency to memory + Cache miss penalty = 124 cycles

The Average - Memory Access Time can be calculated using the relation :

  • Average memory-access time (AMAT) = Hit latency + Miss rate x Latency to memory + Cache miss penalty

The AMAT = 2 + [(1 - 0.92) × 124]

AMAT = 2 + (0.08 × 124)

AMAT = 2 + 9.92 = 11.92 ns

Therefore, the average memory access latency is 11.92ns.
