Detailed explanation-1: -The amount of time needed to find and retrieve data from a computer’s memory is called access time. Cycle time is the amount of time between the beginning of one random access memory (RAM) access and the beginning of the next access, which is typically measured in nanoseconds.
Detailed explanation-2: -With computer memory, access time is the time it takes the computer processor to read data from the memory.
Detailed explanation-3: -CPU time (or process time) is the amount of time for which a central processing unit (CPU) was used for processing instructions of a computer program or operating system, as opposed to elapsed time, which includes for example, waiting for input/output (I/O) operations or entering low-power (idle) mode.
