Solution

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2

Effective access time is dependent, when hit ratio is given memory access time and cache memory.

Memory access time is a common metric to analyze memory system performance. Memory access time uses hit time, miss penalty, and miss rate to measure memory performance. It accounts for the fact that hits and misses affect memory system performance differently.

Memory access timeis how long it takes for a character in memory to be transferred to or from the CPU. In a PC or Mac, fast RAM chips have an access time of 70 nanoseconds or less.

Cache memory is a small-sized type of volatile computer memory that provides high-speed data access to a processor and stores frequently used computer programs, applications and data. It is the fastest memory in a computer, and is typically integrated onto the motherboard and directly embedded in the processor or main random access memory.
