Consider a processor with a 2 ns clock cycle, a miss penalty of 20 clock cycles, a miss rate of 0.05 misses per instruction, and a cache access time (hit time) of 1 clock cycle. Assume that the read and write miss penalties are the same. a. Find the average memory access time (AMAT).
b. Suppose we can improve the miss rate to 0.03 misses per instruction by doubling the cache size. However, this causes the cache access time to increase to 1.2 cycles. Using the AMAT as a metric, determine if this is a good trade-off.
c. If the cache access time determines the processor’s clock cycle time, which is often the case, AMAT may not correctly indicate whether one cache organization is better than another. If the processor’s clock cycle time must be changed to match that of a cache, is this a good tradeoff?

Assume that the processors in part (a) and (b) are identical, except for the clock rate and the cache miss rate. Assume 1.5 references per instruction (for both I-cache and D-cache) and a CPI without cache misses of 2. The miss penalty is 20 cycles for both processors.
