A byte-addressable system with 16-bit addresses ships with a three-way set associative, write-back cache (i.e., each block needs a dirty bit).

A cache is set up with a block size of 32 words. There are 64 blocks in cache and set up to be 4-way set associative. You have byte address 0x8923. Show the word address, block address, tag, and index Show each access being filled in with a note of hit or miss. You are given word address and the access are: 0xff, 0x08, 0x22, 0x00, 0x39, 0xF3, 0x07, 0xc0.
Suppose a byte-addressable computer using set-associative cache has 216 bytes of main memory and a cache of 32 blocks, and each cache block contains 8 bytes.Q.) If this cache is 2-way set associative, what is the format of a memory address as seen by the cache; that is, what are the sizes of the tag, set, and offset fields?
In a certain computer, the virtual addresses are 32 bits long and the physical addresses are 48 bits long. The memory is word addressable. The page size is 16 kB and the word size is 2 bytes. The Translation Look-aside Buffer (TLB) in the address translation path has 64 valid entries. Hit ratio of TLB is 100% then maximum number of distinct virtual addresses that can be translated is K.
Suppose we have a byte-addressable computer using 2-way set associative mapping with 16-bit main memory addresses and 32 bits, the blocks of cache. Suppose also that each block contains 8 bytes. The size of the block offset field is bits, and the size of the tag field is bits. size of the set field is
We have a machine with 32 bit addresses. The L1 cache is 4-way set associative and stores 32 blocks. Each block is 256 bytes. Which bits in the address identify the tag, the set, and the offset (the entire offset)? O Tag: 31-8, Set: 7-6, Offset: 5-0 Tag: 31-10, Set: 9-8, Offset: 7-0 Tag: 31-9, Set: 8-6, Offset: 5-0 Tag: 31-11, Set: 10-8, Offset: 7-0 Tag: 31-11, Set: 10-6, Offset: 5-0 O Tag: 31-13, Set: 12-8, Offset: 7-0
Consider a 32-bit physical memory space and a 32 KiB 2-way associative cache with LRU replacement. You are told the cache uses 5 bits for the offset field. Write in the number of bits in the tag and index fields. Tag length in bits = Index length in bits =
For a direct-mapped cache design with a 32-bit address, the following bits of the address are used to access the cache. We assume that each word has 4 bytes. How many entries does the cache have? Tag Index Offset Block offset | Byte offset 31–12 11-6 5-2 1-0
A byte-addressable system with 16-bit addresses ships with a three-way set associative, write-backcache (i.e., each block needs a dirty bit). The cache implements a true LRU replacement policy usingthe minimum number of replacement policy bits necessary to implement it, which means it requires 3bits per set. The tag store requires a total of 264 bits of storage. What is the block size of the cache?(Hint: 264 = 2^8 + 2^3 and please also do not forget that aside from the tag itself, each block needs 1valid bit, 1 dirty bit).
For a direct-mapped cache design with a 32-bit address, the following bits of the address are used to access the cache: Tag Index Offset 31-10 9-6 5-0 1. What is the cache block size (in words)? 2. How many entries does the cache have? 3. What is the ratio between total bits required for such a cache implementation over the data storage bits?
A CPU has 32-bit memory address and a 256 KB cache memory. The cache is organized as a 4-way set associative cache with cache block size of 16 bytes. a. What is the number of sets in the cache? b. What is the size (in bits) of the tag field per cache block? c. What is the number and size of comparators required for tag matching? d. How many address bits are required to find the byte offset within a cache block? e. What is the total amount of extra memory (in bytes) required for the tag bits?
A 2-way set associative cache consists of four sets. Main memory contains 2K blocks of eight words each. Show the main memory address format that allows us to map addresses from main memory to cache. Be sure to include the fields as well as their sizes. Compute the hit ratio for a program that loops 6 times from locations 8 to 51 in main memory. You may leave the hit ratio in terms of a fraction. Please show details how you obtain the result.
A cache memory system with capacity of N words and block size of B words is to be designed. If it is designed as a direct mapped cache, the length of the TAG field is 14 bits. If it is designed as a 4-way set associative cache, the length of the TAG field will be ………… bits.
