Question 50

If an instruction takes i microseconds and a page fault takes an additional j microseconds, the effective instruction time if on the average a page fault occurs every k instruction is:

A
i + (j/k)
B
i + (j*k)
C
(i+j)/ k
D
(i+j)*k
Question 50 Explanation: 
Effective memory access time
= service time + page fault rate * page fault service time
= i + 1/k * j
= i + j/k

or

The effective instruction time, if on the average a page fault occurs every k instructions, is:
i + (j / k)
This formula accounts for the normal instruction time (i) and the additional time for a page fault (j), considering the average frequency of page faults (k instructions between page faults).

Correct Answer: A
Question 50 Explanation: 
Effective memory access time
= service time + page fault rate * page fault service time
= i + 1/k * j
= i + j/k

i + (j / k)
This formula accounts for the normal instruction time (i) and the additional time for a page fault (j), considering the average frequency of page faults (k instructions between page faults).
