Suppose the daytime processing load consists of 65% CPU activity and 35% disk activity. Your customers are complaining that the system is slow. After doing some research, you learn that you can upgrade your disks for $8,000 to make them 3 times as fast as they are currently. You have also learned that you can upgrade your CPU to make it 1.5 times faster for $6,000. a) Which would you choose to yield the best performance improvement for the least amount of money?
b) Which option would you choose if you don’t care about the money, but want a
faster system?
c) What is the break-even point for the upgrades? That is, what price would be
charged for the CPU(or the disk--change only one) so the results was the same cost per 1% increase in both.

Acomputer has a two-level cache. suppose that 60% of the memory references hit on the first level cache, 35% hit on the second level, and 5% miss. the access times are 5 nsec, 15 nsec, and 60 nsec, respectively, where the times for the level 2 cache and memory start counting at the moment it is known that they are needed (e. g., a level 2 cache access does not even start until the level 1 cache miss occurs). what is the average access time?
