A computer has instructions that each require two bus cycles, one to fetch the instruc- tion and one to fetch the data. Each bus cycle takes 10 nsec and each instruction takes 20 nsec (i.e., the internal processing time is negligible). The computer also has a disk with 2048 512-byte sectors per track. Disk rotation time is 5 msec. To what percent of its normal speed is the computer reduced during a DMA transfer if each 32-bit DMA transfer takes one bus cycle?
