Let t memcycle represent the total number of cycles executed in which there is at. Arbitration and snoop logic controls access to each memory channel and maintains cache coherency. Quantitatively speaking, camat is equal to the total memory access cycles divided by the total number of memory accesses. Thus, it can be seen that the access time for the waypredicted cache is greater than the current cache. If the hit ratio is high enough so that most of the time the cpu accesses the cache instead of main memory, the average access time is closer to. Then we need to compute time to calculate time for process x number of instruction.
In a shared memory multiprocessor, logical problems also arise because of. Endurable transient inconsistency in byte addressable. Mosys takes this a step further and subdivides the onchip storage into a large number of very small banks on the order of 32kb each, reducing the access time of the dram core to nearly that of sram 39, 19.
