7.3 What is the memory layout of the 16-bit value, 0x7654 in a big-endian 16-bit machine, and a little-endian 16-bit machine? b. What would the layouts be in 32-bit machines? 7.19 A certain two-way set-associative cache has an access time of 4 ns, compared to a miss time of 60 ns. Without the cache, main memory access time was 50 ns. Running a set of bench-marks with and without the cache indicated a speedup of 90%. What is the approximate...

Problem 6. Suppose we have a computer with 32 megabytes of main memory, 256 bytes of cache, and a block size of 16 bytes. For each configuration below, determine the memory address format, indicating the number of bits needed for each appropriate field (i.e. tag, block, set, offset). Show any relevant calculations. Direct cache mapping and memory is byte-addressable a) Direct cache mapping and memory is word-addressable with a word size of 16 bits b) c) 2-way set associative 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...
Given: An 8-bit computer system with 4 MB of main memory. It has a 16K-words direct-mapped cache with a block size of 16 Bytes. Sought: Calculate the cache line number when Byte address2271len from main memory is mapped to cache. Consider that numbering of main memory blocks and cache lines starts from zero. Express your answer in hexadecimal. It is required to show ALL incremental steps of the solution.
Memory Hierarchy and Cache Consider a computer with byte-addressable memory. Addresses are 24-bits.

Text: Explain how a 32-bit byte memory address should be divided into Tag/Index/Offset fields for each of the cache configurations below. Note: 1KB = 210 bytes. You must explain how many bits to assign to each field and the ordering of the three fields. You get at most 50% of the credit if you give the length of each field without an explanation. 1) A fully associative cache with cache block size = 2 words and cache size = 512KB....
A computer system has a 64 KB main memory and a 4 KB (data area only) cache. There are 8 bytes/cache line. Determine (1) the number of comparators needed and (2) the size of the tag field, for each of the following mapping schemes: a. Fully associative A computer system has a 64 KB main memory and a 4 KB (data area only) cache. There are 8 bytes/cache line. Determine (1) the number of comparators needed and (2) the size...
