comment Running the linux kernel and ubuntu on a custom processor
Electronics is a remarkably broad term for quite a range of fields including computer architecture, computation, machine learning, digital engineering, human computer interaction, and so on. It isn't wrong thinking to post a question related to the straddling of a _custom processor_(the design of which belongs to the field of electronics) with software(note this requires knowledge of both the hardware design and software) and seeking an explanation of the layers between them. If you regard the question itself as broad, kindly request clarification from me, or perhaps provide a general answer.

comment Cache write/read times?
The question is much simpler. Basically, given a processor core and an L1 cache only, how much faster is it to write data from a register to the cache than to read from the cache to a register?

comment Cache write/read times?
Well yes, it does require some more information. But that is exactly why I need to make certain realistic assumptions. In trying to solve a problem in Hennessy and Patterson's book, Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach, I realised it provided very little background info and in trying to solve it differently I need to make and justify assumptions I make.

ahh great, cheers Kortuk! Posted this on maths.stackexchange too but I hoped that by posting it here I will perhaps get more engineering oriented perspectives.
