QUESTIONS UNIT 3
1. Consider a direct mapped cache with block size 4 KB. The size of main
memory is 16 GB and there are 10 bits in the tag. Find the Size of cache
memory.
2. Consider a direct mapped cache with block size 4 KB. The size of main
memory is 16 GB and there are 10 bits in the tag. Find the Size of cache
memory.
3. A computer system uses 16-bit memory addresses. It has a 2K-byte
cache organized in a direct-mapped manner with 64 bytes per cache
block. Assume that the size of each memory word is 1 byte.
(a)Calculate the number of bits in each of the Tag, Block, and Word fields
of the memory address.
(b) When a program is executed, the processor reads data sequentially
from the following word addresses: 128, 144, 2176, 2180, 128, 2176
All the above addresses are shown in decimal values. Assume that the
cache is initially empty.
For each of the above addresses, indicate whether the cache access will
result in a hit or a miss.
4. Consider a 2-way set associative cache of size 16 KB with block size 256
bytes. The size of main memory is 128 KB. Find Number of bits in tag.
5. Consider a 8-way set associative cache of size 512 KB with block size 1
KB. There are 7 bits in the tag. Find the Size of main memory.
6. Consider a direct mapped cache with block size 4 KB. The size of main
memory is 16 GB and there are 10 bits in the tag. Find the Size of cache
memory
7. Consider a 4 way set associative cache with block size 4 KB. The size of
main memory is 16 GB and there are 10 bits in the tag. Find the Size of
cache memory
8. A computer system uses 16-bit memory addresses. It has a 2K-byte
cache organized in a 2-way set associative manner with 64 bytes per
cache block. Assume that the size of each memory word is 1 byte.
9. Calculate the number of bits in each of the Tag, Block, and Word fields of
the memory address.
(b) When a program is executed, the processor reads data sequentially
from the following word addresses: 128, 144, 2176, 2180, 128, 2176
All the above addresses are shown in decimal values. Assume that the
cache is initially empty. For each of the above addresses, indicate
whether the cache access will result in a hit or a miss.
