Suppose a computer using direct mapped cache has 232 byte of byte-addressable main memory, and a cache of 1024 blocks, where each cache block contains 32 bytes.
a. How many blocks of main memory are there?
b. What is the format of a memory address as seen by the cache, i.e., what are the sizes of the tag, block, and offset fields?
c.To which cache block will the memory address 0x000063FA map?

QUESTION 2 Suppose a computer using direct mapped cache has 216 bytes of byte-addressable main memory and a cache of 64 blocks, where each cache block contains 32 bytes. a. How many blocks of main memory are there? b) What is the format of a memory address as seen by the cache, (include field names and their sizes) c) To which cache block will the memory address (F8C916 map? What address in that block does it map to?
Suppose a computer using a fully associative cache has 232 bytes of byte-addressable main memory and a cache of 1024 blocks, were each cache block contains 32 bytes. Consider a memory address as seen by the cache. How many bits are in the tag field?
Name #5 Suppose a compute memory and a cache of 1024 blocks, where each cache block contains a) How many blocks of main memory are there? b) Wha r using direct mapped cache has 4bytes of byte-addressable main t is the format of a memory address as seen by the cache; that is, what are the sizes of the tag, block, and offset fields? To which cache block will the memory address 0x000063FA map? c)
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...
A direct-mapped cache consists of 8 blocks. Byte-addressable main memory contains 4K blocks of 8 bytes each. Access time for the cache is 22ns, and the time required to fill a cache slot from main memory is 300ns. (This time allows us to determine the block is missing and bring it into cache.) Assume a request is always started in parallel to both cache and to main memory(so if it is not found in cache, we do not have to...
Suppose a computer using fully-associative cache has 222 words of main memory and a cache of 32 blocks, where each cache block contains 16 bytes. How many blocks of main memory are there? Assuming memory addressing starts from zero, what is the highest memory address? How many bits are needed to represent all of the memory addresses? What is the format of a memory address as seen by the cache, that is, what are the sizes of the tag and...
Question 28 7 pts Consider a byte-addressable computer with 24-bit addresses, a cache capable of storing a total of 64K bytes of data, and blocks of 32 bytes. If the computer uses direct mapping, the format of the memory address is as follows: bits for the tag field, bits for the cache block number, and bits for the block offset.
Suppose a computer using set associative cache has 216 words of main memory and a cache of 32 blocks, and each cache block contains 8 words. 3. 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 word fields? If this cache is 4-way set associative, what is the format of a memory address as seen by the cache?...
For a 16K-byte, direct-mapped cache, suppose the block size is 32 bytes, draw a cache diagram. Indicate the block size, number of blocks, and address field decomposition (block offset, index, and tag bit width) assuming a 32-bit memory address.
Memory Hierarchy and Cache Consider a computer with byte-addressable memory. Addresses are 24-bits. The cache is capable of storing a total of 64KB of data, and frames of 32 bytes, Show the format of a 24-bit memory address for: a- Direct mapped cache b- 2-way associative cache c- 4-way associative cache d- For each type of cache above, indicate where would the reference memory address 0DEFB6 map
