Q. 65 Consider a main memory system that consists of 8 memory modules attached to
the system bus, which is one word wide. When a write request is made, the bus
is occupied for 100 nanoseconds (ns) by the data, address, and control signals.
During the same 100 ns, and for 500 s thereafter, the addressed memory module
executes one cycle accepting and storing the data. The (internal) operationof
different memory modules may overlap in time, but onlyone request can be on
the bus at any time. The maximum number of stores (of one word each) that can
be initiated in 1 millisecond is ______.
(A) 1000
(B) 10000
