Whereas larger caches have lower miss rates, they also tend to have longer hit times. Assume a direct-mapped 8KB cache has 0.1ns hit time and miss rate m1; also assume a 4-way set associative 64KB cache has 0.76ns hit time and a miss rate m2. If the miss penalty is 150ns, explain when it would be advantageous to use the smaller cache to reduce memory access time.
