[12/15] Consider the usage of critical word first and early restart on L2 cache misses. Assume a 1 MB L2 cache with 64-byte blocks and a refill path that is 16 bytes wide. Assume that the L2 can be written with 16 bytes every 4 processor cycles, the time to receive the first 16 byte block from the memory controller is 120 cycles, each additional 16 byte block from main memory requires 16 cycles, and data can be bypassed directly into the read port of the L2 cache. Ignore any cycles to transfer the miss request to the L2 cache and the requested data to the L1 cache. A reduces the MPKI by 1. Program B has an MPKI of 50 when it is assigned 1 MB of cache; each additional 1 MB assigned to program B reduces its MPKI by 2. What is the best allocation of ways to programs A and B?
