Q. Consider a system with 4-way set associative cache of 256 KB. The cache line size is 8 words (32 bits per word). The smallest addressable unit is a byte, and memory addresses are 64 bits long. (a) How many bits are used for TAG and INDEX fields of cache mapping?
Please explain the question below Objective: Show the influence of the cache size on the miss rate Development Configure a system with the following architectural characteristics: Processors in SMP = 1 Cache coherence protocol = MESI Scheme for bus arbitration = Random Word wide (bits) = 16 Words by block = 16 (block size = 32 bytes) Blocks in main memory = 8192 (main memory size = 256 KB) Mapping = Fully-Associative Replacement policy = LRU Configure the blocks in cache using the following configurations: 2(cache size = 0,03 KB), 4,8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, and 512 (cache size = 16 KB). For each of the configurations, obtain the miss rate using the trace files: Hydro, Naasa7, Cexp, Comp, and Wave. Are there conflict misses in these experiments? Why? In these cases, it may be observed that for great cache sizes, the miss rate is stabilized. Why? We can also see great differences in miss rate for a concrete increment of cache size. What do these great differences indicate?
In paging (given diagram), for CPU request there are two access time one for accessing page table and one for physical memory access. How should we minimize this access time? Redraw the figure. Formulate the formula for Effective Access Time. 3. Calculate the Effective Access Time (EAT) by assuming the Hit ratio (?) 85% and 95%. Cache Access Time (ε) is 20 microsecond and Memory Access Time (Τ) is 100 microsecond
Cache access involves virtual to physical address translation through the TLB, cache tag comparison through the tag array, and cache data access through the data array as shown in the diagram below.a. Is TLB a direct-mapped, or a n-way set-associative, or a fully associative design? If it is a set-associate, what is the value of n?b. Is cache direct-mapped, or a n-way set-associative, or a fully associative design? If it is a set-associate, what is the value of n?c. What is the cache block size?d. What is the cache size (only consider the data array)?
Consider a memory system with a cache access time of 100ns and a memory access timeof 1200ns. If the effective access time is 10% greater than the cache access time, what is thehit ratio H?
Consider a two-tier memory system consisting of cache (SRAM) and main memory (DRAM). The cache access time is 1 nsec and the main memory access time is 50 nsecs. (1 nsec = 1 ́ 10-9 secs). (a) What is the overall memory access time given a cache hit rate of 95%? (b) What will the cache hit rate need to be if the overall memory access time in (a) is to be halved?
Explore the concept of cache memory in-depth. How do cache levels (L1, L2, L3) work, and what strategies are employed to improve cache hit rates and reduce cache misses?
A Direct mapped cache has a capacity of 16-word cache and a block size of 4 words. Consider the following repeating sequence of lw addresses (given in hexadecimal): 74 A0 78 38C AC 84 88 8C 7C 34 38 13C 388 18C Determine the effective miss rate if the sequence is input to the following caches, ignoring startup effects.
Consider a main memory with size 512MB with cache size 64KB and memory block is 4 bytes. Assume that the memory word is 1 byte . Answer following question How many address bits are required ti address the main memory locations ? How many blocks are there in the cache memory? Determine how to split the address (s-r, d ,w )for direct mapping? Determine how to split the address (s-d, d ,w )for set associative mapping .Assume each cache set is 4 line of cache
Which one is not one of the advantages of direct mapped cache against to 4-way set associative cache? A) Needs less harware to impelement B) Hit time of direct mapped would be shorter as there is only one block to which a data of physical adress can be matched C) Two squential read to 2 different addresses matching the same cache block will result in that there won't be a cache hit so the performance will drop D) It is less expensive and simplier than 4-way associative mapping E) Using direct mapped will take more advantage of spatial locality
6. If a cache access requires one clock cycle and dealing with cache misses requires an additional five clock cycles, which of the following cache hit rates results in an effective access time of 2 clock cycles? Assume that the cache is using the sequential access. Group of answer choices 0.85 0.8 0.7 0.9
