A Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) is a hardware device used for speeding up the conversion from virtual address to physical address. Consider a memory management unit where a memory reference takes 200 ns, TLB access time is 20 ns, and the miss rate of the TLB is 10%. What is the difference between the effective memory access time using the TLB and the effective memory access time without using the TLB?
