Consider a demand-paged system where the page table for each process resides in main memory. In addition, there is a fast associative memory (also known as TLB which stands for Translation Look-aside Buffer) to speed up the translation process. Each single memory access takes 1 microsecond while each TLB access takes 0.2 microseconds. Assume that 2% of the page requests lead to page faults, while 98% are hits. On the average, page fault time is 20 milliseconds (includes everything: TLB/memory/disc access time and transfer, and any context switch overhead). Out of the 98% page hits, 80 % of the accesses are found in the TLB and the rest, 20%, are TLB misses. Calculate the effective memory access time for the system.
