You are asked to perform capacity planning for a two-level memory system. The first level, M1 is a cache with three capacity choices of 64Kbytes, 128Kbytes, and 256Kbytes. The second level, M2, is a main memory with a 4Mbyte capacity. Let c1 and c2 be the costs per byte and t1 and t2 be the access times for M1 and M2, respectively. Assume c1 = 20 * c2 and t2 = 10 * t1. The cache hit ratios for the 3 capacities are assumed to be 0.7, 0.9 and 0.95, respectively.

Fundamentals of memory

A collection of connected storage devices form the memory unit. It is a space to store data and instructions required for processing. Information is stored in a memory unit in the form of bits. There are two types of memory namely:
