But in simultaneous we directly read from main memory so we don't need to take the data from main memory to cache but simultaneously search in both cache in main memory. So no need of extra 10 unit time in 0.1*(100+10) . 2 2 replyShare gatecse commented Dec 27, 2022 reply Follow flag Yes, by default it is heirarchical for cache as used in standard text books. 2 2 replyShare h4kr commented Dec 27, 2022 reply Follow flag thanks 0 0 replyShare Please log in or register to add a comment.
