Assume that the cache size is 256kB, and each cache line is 64 Bytes. (10%)

Let us assume this is a Two-way associative cache. How many cache sets are there?

Let us assume the following memory blocks need to be accessed:

Memory Blocks #4100, 8196, 2052, 8196, 2052, 4100

If the cache is initially empty, what is the cache hit/miss rate?

Expert Solution

Summary:-

For memory block replacement, we are using LRU ( least recent used). To map any memory block to set, we are using mapping function. For clear explanation please refer to the image.

Assume a computer with a cache that holds 64 bytes and has a block size of 32 bytes. Direct address mapping is used and from the beginning the cache is empty. The following program sequence is executed: for (col = 0; col < 2; col++) { for (row = 0; row < 4; row++) A[row][col] = B[row] * C[col]; } Assume that for the variables row and col registers are used. The matrix A consists of 4 rows and 4...

Computer archieture 1. Assume that the cache size is 512kB, and each cache line is 128 Bytes. If it’s a 4-way associative cache, how many sets are there? If it’s a 2-way associative cache, how many sets are there? Let’s assume the cache is initially empty, and LRU policy is used for cache line replacement. If the following memory blocks are accessed: Mem-block # 7, 1031, 2055, 4103, 1031, 7, 2055, 3079, 1031, 3079 What is the cache hit/miss rate...

Consider a 4-way set-associative cache, 4 rows, a line size of 128 bytes and a write-back policy. The following requests are made to memory: Load: 0b0011111001000101 Load: 0b1000111110110100 Load: 0b0110101111110100 Store: 0b0010110000000110 Store: 0b1111001001110101 Store: 0b1110000111000001 Load: 0b0000000010100110 Load: 0b0101001001001101 Assuming the machine is in cold-start, profile the contents to the cache after all of the requests have been made. State any assumption you make (if needed).

Suppose a computer using direct mapped cache has 232 bytes of main memory and a cache of 1024 blocks, where each block contains 32 bytes. [2] How many blocks of main memory does this computer have? [4] Show the format of a memory address as seen by cache; be sure to include the field names as well as their sizes. [3] Given the memory address 0x00001328, to which cache block will this address map? (Give you answer in decimal.) A...

Below are listed parameters for different direct-mapped cache designs. Cache Data Size: 32 KiB Cache Block Size: 2 words Cache Access Time: 1 cycle Word: 4 bytes. Calculate the total number of bits required for the cache listed above, assuming a 32-bit address. Given that total size, find the total size of the closest direct-mapped cache with 16-word blocks of equal size or greater. Explain why the second cache, despite its larger data size, might provide slower performance than the...
