(1 point) Explain whether (or not) the following series of read requests will have a lower miss rate on a 32 KiB two-way set associative cache with LRU replacement than on the cache in part (a). The sequence 0, 32768, 0, 32768, 0, 32768,
Added by Alba M.
Step 1
Block size = Cache size / (Number of sets * Number of blocks per set) Block size = 32 KiB / (2 * 2) = 8 KiB Step 2: Determine the index bits needed for the cache Since the cache is two-way set associative, we need to calculate the number of index bits needed to Show more…

Q： Whereas larger caches have lower miss rates, they also tend to have longer hit times. Assume a direct-mapped 8 KB cache has 0.22 ns hit time and miss rate m1; also assume a 4-way associative 64 KB cache has 0.52 ns hit time and a miss rate m2. a. [5]If the miss penalty is 100 ns, when would it be advantageous to use the smaller cache to reduce the overall memory access time? b. [15]Repeat part (a) for miss penalties of 10 and 1000 cycles. Conclude when it might be advantageous to use a smaller cache.

For a direct-mapped cache design with a 32-bit address, the following bits of the address are used to access the cache: Tag (31-12), Index (11-6), Offset (5-0). a. What is the cache block size in words? b. How many entries does this cache have? c. What is the ratio between the total bits required for such a cache implementation and the data storage bits?
