3. When designing memory systems, it becomes useful to know the frequency of reads versus writes as well as the frequency of accesses for instructions versus data. Using the average instruction-mix information for MIPS for the program spice (as given below), find the following:

a. The percentage of all memory accesses that are for data (vs. instructions).

b. The percentage of all memory accesses that are reads (vs. writes). Assume that two-thirds of data transfers are loads.
