An alternative design without hierarchical memory


Assume a hierarchical memory system having a joint instruction/data cache with a memory - access cost of 10ns on a hit and 90ns on a miss. An alternative design without hierarchical memory architecture has a memory-access cost of 70ns. What is the minimum cache- hit percentage that would make the hierarchical memory system useful?
