In terms of a cache, what is the purpose of tag bits? Group of answer choices To allow multi-level memory hierarchies to be created To tell the processor which data it is reading from the cache To specify which data from the lower level is in the cache To allow slower memories to be used in the lower levels

Discuss the role of cache memory in storage devices and its impact on read and write performance.
A processor has an 30-bit physical address space (A memory address is 30-bit). It also has a physically addressed, 8-way set associative cache. If the size of the entire cache is 64 KB, and the block size is 4Byte How many sets (i.e. lines) exist in this cache? How many bits are used to address each cache line?(index bits?) How many bits are stored in the tag area?
Describe the functioning of a cache memory hierarchy in a computer system. What are the different levels of cache, and how do they optimize memory access?
Explain what a write-through cache modification and a write-back cache modification are, how they function in shared memory systems, the advantages and downsides of employing either method, and which one is preferable and why.
