Consider the usage of critical word first and early restart on L2 cache misses. Assume a 1 MB L2 cache with 64 byte blocks and a refill path that is 16 bytes wide. Assume that the L2 can be written with 16 bytes every 4 processor cycles, the time to receive the first 16 byte block from the memory controller is 120 cycles, each additional 16 byte block from the memory requires 16 cycles, and data can be bypassed directly into the read port of the L2 cache. Ignore any cycles to transfer the miss request to the L2 cache and the requested data to the L1 cache.
a. How many cycles would it take to service an L2 caches miss with and without this technique (critical word first and early restart)?
b. Do you think critical word first and early restart would be more important for L1 caches or L2 caches, and what factors would contribute to their relative importance?

Writing a modular program in visual c++. i am new to this and not sure what i am missing. i am getting the following error: baddate. cpp: in function ‘int main()’: baddate. cpp: 50: 3: error: ‘else’ without a previous ‘if’elsehere are the instructions and code: writing a modular program in c++in this lab, you add the input and output statements to a partially completed c++ program. when completed, the user should be able to enter a year, a month, and a day. the program then determines if the date is valid. valid years are those that are greater than 0, valid months include the values 1 through 12, and valid days include the values 1 through 31.notice that variables have been declared for you. write the simulated housekeeping() function that contains the prompts and input statements to retrieve a year, a month, and a day from the user. include the output statements in the simulated endofjob() function. the format of the output is as follows: month/day/year is a valid date. ormonth/day/year is an invalid date. execute the program entering the following date: month = 5, day = 32, year = 2014. record the output of this program. execute the program entering the following date: month = 9, day = 21, year = 2002. record the output of this /* program name: baddate. cppfunction: this program determines if a date entered by the user is valid. input: interactiveoutput: valid date is printed or user is alerted that an invalid date was entered*/#include bool validatedate(int, int, int); using namespace std; int main(){// declare variablesint year; int month; int day; const int min_year = 0, min_month = 1, max_month = 12, min_day = 1, max_day = 31; bool validdate = true; // this is the work of the housekeeping() method// get the year, then the month, then the daycout< < "enter the year"< > year; cout< < "enter the month"< > month; cout< < "enter the day"< > day; // this is the work of the detailloop() method// check to be sure date is validif(year < = min_year) // invalid yearvaliddate = false; else if (month < min_month || month > max_month) // invalid monthvaliddate = false; else if (day < min_day || day > max_day) // invalid dayvaliddate = false; // this is the work of the endofjob() method// test to see if date is valid and output date and whether it is valid or notif(validdate == true); {// output statementcout<
