Question
Assume a memory subsystem with a cache of 8 blocks and a main memory of 64 blocks, where each block includes 8 words.
- a) In direct mapping, show the mapping from the numbered blocks of main memory to cache blocks . Show the address bits that identify the tag field, the index field, and the word offset
- b) In fully associative mapping, show the mapping from the numbered blocks of main memory to cache Show the address bits that identify the tag field, the index field, and the world offset field.
- c) In 2-way set associative mapping, show the mapping from the numbered blocks of main memory to cache Show the address bits that identify the tag field, the index field, and the world offset field.
