Computer Organization and Architecture Chapter 5: Internal Memory


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 =

64x150ns 4000x250ns

9600ns x100% 0.96% 1000000ns
