Suppose we have a direct-mapped cache that can hold a total of 1024 blocks with 4 words per block.

Compute the block index, block offset, and the tag for the following addresses:
(a) 0x11001001
(b) 0x00010014
(c) 0x01000004
(d) 0x01001018
(e) 0x7bdcca10

Expert Solution

Answer :- Since 1024 blocks, hence number of index bits = 10. Two bits for offset since 4 words per block.

Thus fro LSB, 2-bit gives the value of block offset, next 10 bits gives the value of block index and rest bits are the value of tag.

a) 0x11001001 => 0001_0001_0000_0000_0001_0000_0000_0001,
block offset = 01, block index = 0000_0000_00, and tag = 0001_0001_0000_0000_0001.

b) 0x00010014 => 0000_0000_0000_0001_0000_0000_0001_0100,
block offset = 00, block index = 0000_0001_01, and tag = 0000_0000_0000_0001_0000.

c) 0x01000004 => 0000_0001_0000_0000_0000_0000_0000_0100,
block offset = 00, block index = 0000_0000_01, tag = 0000_0001_0000_0000_0000.

d) 0x01001018 => 0000_0001_0000_0000_0001_0000_0001_1000,
block offset = 00, block index = 0000_0001_10, tag = 0000_0001_0000_0000_0001.

e) 0x7bdcca10 => 0111_1011_1101_1100_1100_1010_0001_0000,
block offset = 00, block index = 1010_0001_00, tag = 0111_1011_1101_1100_1100.

A direct-mapped cache consists of 8 blocks. Byte-addressable main memory contains 4K blocks of 8 bytes each. Access time for the cache is 22ns, and the time required to fill a cache slot from main memory is 300ns. (This time allows us to determine the block is missing and bring it into cache.) Assume a request is always started in parallel to both cache and to main memory(so if it is not found in cache, we do not have to...

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...

A computer uses direct-mapped cache with four16-bit words, and each word has an associ-ated13-bit tag. Consider the following loop (three instructions) in a program. Before the loop,the values in registersR0,R1,R2are 0, 054E, and 2 respectively. Consider that instructions arealready in separate cache memory. (See Table1.)The loop starts at location LOOP=02EC.LOOPAdd(R1)+,R0;DCRR2; BR>0LOOPShow the content of cache at the end of each pass of this loop if direct mapping cache is used.Compute hit rate.
