If memory read cycle takes 100 ns and a cache read cycle takes 20 ns, then for four continuous references, the first one brings the main memory contents to cache and the next three from cache. Find the time taken for the Read cycle with and without Cache? What is the Percentage speedup obtained?
A cache has been designed such that it has 512 lines, with each line or block containing 8 words.  Identify the line number, tag, and word position for the 20- bit address 3A45616 using the direct mapping method.
For the main memory address FEDCBAH, show the following information in hexadecimal format: 1)Tag, Line, and Word values for a direct-mapped cache 2)Tag and Word values for an associative cache 3)Tag, Set, and Word values for a two-way set-associative cache
