The virtual memory system uses the demand paging for its implementation. The probability of getting page faults is $0.25$, the normal memory access time is $200$ nanoseconds. If it takes $2$ millseconds to service a page fault, then what is effective memory access time?

  1. $500000$ ns
  2. $500075$ ns
  3. $500150$ ns
  4. $500250$ ns

E.M.A.T. = (1 - p) * ma + p * page fault service time     ,   where p = page fault rate
EMAT = [ 0.75 * 200  + 0.25 * 2000000 ]ns =  500150 n.s
