4 blocks, direct-mapped, 1 word per cache line
Reference sequence: 4,8,12,4,8,20,4,888,20,24,12,8,4
Find the number of Compulsory, capacity, and confilict misses.
Also, when It becomes fully associative cache and 2 set-associative cache.
Please explain specifically.
Compulsory miss are first time accesses.
Capacity miss happens due to lack of capacity
Conflict miss happens when there are empty blocks but accessed block is conflicting with already filled block.
Direct Mapped
First reference to block 4 will be compulsory miss as first time accessing.
Remaining all blocks are indexing to block number 0 which is already filled when each address is accessed.
Fully Associative Cache
In this, blocks will be placed wherever space is available.
As there is only 4 blocks capacity. First 4 blocks will be placed in cache.
There can’t be conflict miss in fully associative cache as blocks are placed based on cache line availability.
2-Way Set Associative Cache
In this, there will be 2 sets each one having 2 blocks
First two blocks will be placed in first set as indexing to set 0.
Remaining block accesses also will index to set 0 so they will cause conflict miss.

Assume there are three small caches, each consisting of four one-word blocks. One cache is fully associative, a second is two-way set-associative, and the third is direct mapped. Find the number of misses for each cache organization given the following sequence of block addresses: 2, 4, 2, 7, 0, and 8. Assume a LRU (least recently used) scheme is used to choose which block to replace.
Cache of 4096 blocks, a 4-word block size, and a 32-bit address, find the total number of sets and the total number of tag bits for caches that are direct mapped, four-way set associative, and fully associative.
Assume a cache with 2048 blocks, a 4-word block size, and a 32-bit address. For each of the following configurations, find the total number of bits for each cache block and the total numbers of bits for the entire cache. a. Direct-mapped b. Two-way set associative c. Four-way set associative d. Fully-associative
Assuming a direct-mapped cache with 4 four-word
blocks that is initially empty, label each reference in
the list as a hit or a miss and show the final contents of the
cache.
The following is a sequence of address references given as word
addresses.

Make an assumption that your cache is either: Fully associative Direct mapped Two-way set-associative Four-way set-associative determine: the size of the Tag and Word for Associative cache; OR the size of the Tag, Line, and Word for Direct-Mapped Cache ; Or the size of Tag, Set, and Word for K-Way Set-Associative Cache. You may make any assumptions necessary including the number of Words in each block (recommend 2 or 4 or 8)
Find a wrong description about associative cache. 1-way set associative cache is identical to the direct mapped cache Each cache block contains one valid bit and one tag regardless of the number of data blocks Fully associative cache requires all entries to be searched at once Associative cache can decrease miss rate compared to direct mapped cache
Suppose a computer has 216 words of main memory, and a cache of 64 blocks, where each cache block contains 32 words. Please explain step by step. a) If this cache is a direct-mapped cache, what is the format of a memory address as seen by the cache, i.e., what are the sizes of the tag and word fields? b) To which cache block will the memory reference F8C9 map? c) If this cache is fully associative, what is the...
6. (30) Consider a 64B direct-mapped cache with 16B blocks and 4 sets for an 8-bit architecture (i.e., 256 bytes of memory): a. (5) Write a C function unsigned char getTag(unsigned char address) that returns the cache tag for the specified address using bitwise operators: b. (5) Write a C function unsigned char getSet(unsigned char address) that returns the cache set for the specified address using bitwise operators: c. (10) Considering the following sequence of memory addresses, which addresses will...
a) Suppose we have a 64 KB, direct-mapped cache with 8-word blocks. Determine how many bits are required for the tag, index, and offset fields for a 32-bit memory address. b) If instead, we use a 64 KB, 4-way set-associative cache with 8-word blocks, how many bits will be required for the tag, index, and offset fields for a 32-bit address? c) What type of cache is shown in problem 2? How many bits are required for this cache’s tag,...
You have a 2-way set associative L1 cache that is 8KB, with 4-word cache lines. You get the following sequence of writes to the cache --each is a 32-bit address in hexadecimal 0x32E4 0x8000 0x1F50 0x8004 0x72EC OxDOOC 0x800C 0x72E8 0x4008 OxD000 0x82E0 a) [7 Pts] How many cache misses occur with an LFU (Least Frequently Used) policy?
