- What is the overall speedup if you make 15% of a program 85 times faster?
- What is the overall speedup if you make 85% of a program 15 times faster
Question 2Consider 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 memory’s total operating time must be given to refreshes?
