How would you compute the number of tag bits in a direct mapped cache with byte addressable memory if the block size is 1 KB, the main memory capacity is 32 GB, and the cache size is 32 KB? What if the cache is a four-way set associative cache with identical memory sizes?
A byte-addressable system with 16-bit addresses ships with a three-way set associative, write-backcache (i.e., each block needs a dirty bit). The cache implements a true LRU replacement policy usingthe minimum number of replacement policy bits necessary to implement it, which means it requires 3bits per set. The tag store requires a total of 264 bits of storage. What is the block size of the cache?(Hint: 264 = 2^8 + 2^3 and please also do not forget that aside from the tag itself, each block needs 1valid bit, 1 dirty bit).
Suppose a computer using direct mapped cache has 236 bytes of byte-addressable main memory and a cache size of 1024 bytes, and each cache block contains 64 bytes. ⦁ How many blocks of main memory are there? ⦁ What is the format of a memory address as seen by cache, i.e., what are the sizes of the tag, block, and offset fields? ⦁ To which cache block will the memory address 0x13A4576B map?
A message slot is a cache line that contains status flags and the message itself. The state can be empty or ready, and communication occurs through a single cache line. Both the sender and the receiver write the message to the cache line. The receiver updates the state from empty to ready, then polls the cache line in a loop waiting for the sender to send a message. The sender waits in a tight loop until the receiver acknowledges the cache line, changes the state from ready to empty, and acknowledges receipt. Explain that the system uses a snooping cache coherence protocol and describe the cache-coherence transaction taking place on the coherence bus when a message transfer occurs.
In a Direct Mapped Cache Memory Physical Address format the Cache line offset field size and word offset field size are same (with word size of one Byte). The number of tag bits in the Physical Address format is equal to the number of blocks in Cache Memory. If the Tag field Size is Mega words. 16 bits, the size of the physical Memory is
In a certain computer, the virtual addresses are 32 bits long and the physical addresses are 48 bits long. The memory is word addressable. The page size is 16 kB and the word size is 2 bytes. The Translation Look-aside Buffer (TLB) in the address translation path has 64 valid entries. Hit ratio of TLB is 100% then maximum number of distinct virtual addresses that can be translated is K.
