Direct-mapped cache is a special case of set-associative cache where the set size is 1. So fully associative cache is a special case of setassociative cache where the set size is ______.

Associative caches and direct-mapped caches are distinct.

In mapping, the data can be mapped only in one line in the Cache Memory. Select one: a. Associative O b. Indirect O C. Direct O d. Set Associative

Caches are utilized to benefit from "spatial locality" and "temporal locality" in order to increase performance. What benefits do caches get from these two phenomena?

The ability to freely associate data items is the primary characteristic that distinguishes a fully associative cache from a directly mapped cache. This ability is the major distinction between the two types of caches.

.2: Below is a list of 32-bit memory address references, given as word addresses. 3, 180, 43, 2, 191, 88, 253 For each of these references, identify the binary address, the tag, and the index given a direct- mapped cache with 16 one-word blocks. Also list if each reference is a hit or a miss, assuming the cache is initially empty. For each of these references, identify the binary address, the tag, and the index given a direct-mapped cache with 2-word blocks and a total size of 8 blocks. Also list if each reference is a hit or a miss, assuming the cache is initially empty. For each of these references, identify the binary address, the tag, and the index given a direct-mapped cache with 4-word blocks and a total size of 8 blocks. Also list if each reference is a hit or a miss, assuming the cache is initially empty.

Explain the differences between a directly mapped cache and a fully associative cache.

cache.xls (or it can be a google sheet that you share with me in a cache.txt with the url in it )= a spreadsheet showing the cycle counts of a cached and non-cached machine. Also, you need to show the cache as the memory accesses progress in your program marking the hits and misses (misses in RED). You should have cells to show how many hits and how many misses your program has, and details on what is the cache replacement policy you implemented.   Here is code:   void c_cache_for_badge() {    int na = 8, nb = -3, nc = 10;    // pointers    int *npa;      npa = (int*)malloc(sizeof(int)*84);      // init integer pointers    for(int i = 0; i < 84; i++)    {        npa[i] = i;    }        // integer pointers    for(int i = 9; i < 70; i= i + 3)    {        nb += npa[i % 5] + npa[i % 3] + npa[i % 6];    }     }   void main() {    c_cache_for_badge(); }

Caching data may improve performance by taking use of "spatial locality" and "temporal locality." Caches employ these two occurrences in many ways.

What is the difference between a cache that is entirely associative and a cache that is directly mapped?
