Assume that the execution time for a program is directly proportional to instruction access time. The access to an instruction in the cache is 10 times faster than access to an instruction in the main memory. If an instruction is not found in the cache, i. e., cache miss, it is fetched from the main memory to the cache and then fetched from the cache to be executed. Assume that a requested instruction will cause cache miss has a probability of 0.08. Let the speedup factor is defined as the ratio of program execution time without the cache to program execution time with the cache. a. Calculate the speedup factor to execute such a program.
b. using this assumption, assuming that the cache is 20 times faster than the main memory.

Read this excerpt from helen keller’s autobiography, the story of my life. have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in, and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen? i was like that ship before my education began, only i was without compass or sounding-line, and had no way of knowing how near the harbour was. "light! give me light! " was the wordless cry of my soul, and the light of love shone on me in that very hour. . the morning after my teacher came she led me into her room and gave me a doll. the little blind children at the perkins institution had sent it and laura bridgman had dressed it; but i did not know this until afterward. when i had played with it a little while, miss sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word "d-o-l-l." i was at once interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. when i finally succeeded in making the letters correctly i was flushed with childish pleasure and pride. running downstairs to my mother i held up my hand and made the letters for doll. i did not know that i was spelling a word or even that words existed; i was simply making my fingers go in monkey-like imitation. in the days that followed i learned to spell in this uncomprehending way a great many words, among them pin, hat, cup and a few verbs like sit, stand and walk. based on this excerpt, which words best describe helen keller?

"fog on the essex marshes, fog on the kentish heights, fog creeping into the cabooses of collier-brigs; fog lying out on the yards, and hovering in the riggingof great ships; fog drooping on the gunwales of barges and small boats. fog in the eyes and throats of ancient greenwich pensioners, wheezing by thefiresides of their wards; fog in the stem and bowl of the afternoon pipe of the wrathful skipper; fog cruelly pinching the toes and fingers of his shivering little'prentice boy on deck."
