3. A 4-way set-associative cache memory unit with a capacity of 16KB is buil: using a block size of 8 words. The wond length is 32 bits.

I have a little bit problem with my late quiz for computer architecture, I get the answer from my lecturer but I still don't feel fully understand, can I ask for some help: In a computer system, the memory has 32 blocks and the cache has 8 blocks. Assume there is only one word per block with 4 bytes in one word. The reference sequence in terms of word location is 0, 2, 4, 10, 5, 12, 8, 18, 13. If the cache is direct-mapped, how many misses do we have if the cache is initially empty? Can you give the hit or miss for each reference?

Assume the address format for a fully-associative cache is as follows: 6 bits 2 bits Tag Offset 8 bits Given the cache directory is as shown in the diagram below, indicate whether the memory reference Ox5E results in a cache hits or a miss. Tag valid Block 000 110110 001 000001 010 000010 011 000101 100 001000 1 101 100010 110 010111 111 110110 O Hit O Miss

Cache system B represents a 2-way set-associative mapping cache system in table 2 The system is byte-addressable and the block size is one word (4 bytes). The tag and set numbers are represented with binary numbers. The contents of words in a block are represented with hexadecimal.
