This document contains a student's name, class, and the solution to an exercise problem about calculating the percentage of time a dynamic RAM requires for refresh cycles. The problem asks about a DRAM that must refresh 64 times per millisecond, with each refresh taking 150 nanoseconds and each memory cycle taking 250 nanoseconds. The solution shows the calculation that the refresh time is 0.96% of the total memory operating time.

Exercise 5.2(page 166): Consider a dynamic RAM that must be given a refresh cycle 64 times per ms. Each refresh operation requires 150 ns; a memory cycle requires 250 ns. What percentage of the memorys total operating time must be given to refreshes? Solution: We have that: when refresh cycle is 64 times per 1ms: 1ms -> Memory cycle = 4000times 250ns Therefore, % refreshes time =
