What is the cache hit ratio. if memory access takes 20 ns with cache and 110 ns without it (cache uses a 10 ns memory)?

Question

What is the cache hit ratio. if memory access takes 20 ns with cache and 110 ns without it (cache uses a 10 ns memory)?

Solution

The cache hit ratio can be calculated using the formula:

Hit ratio = (Twithout cache - Twith cache) / (Twithout cache - Tcache)

Where:

  • Twithout cache is the time it takes to access memory without cache
  • Twith cache is the time it takes to access memory with cache
  • Tcache is the time it takes to access the cache

Given:

  • Twithout cache = 110 ns
  • Twith cache = 20 ns
  • Tcache = 10 ns

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

Hit ratio = (110 ns - 20 ns) / (110 ns - 10 ns) = 90 / 100 = 0.9 or 90%

So, the cache hit ratio is 90%.
