Tag Index Offset 63-9 8-5 4-0 Beginning from power on, the following byte-addressed cache references are recorded. Нех 00 04 10 84 E8 AO 400 1E 8C Cic B4 884 (A) For cach reference, list (i) its teg, index, end offset, (ii) whether it is a hit or a miss, and (iii) which bytes were replaced (if any). (B) what is the hit ratio? (C) List the final state of the cache, with each valid entry represented as a record of . For example,
A direct-mapped cache consists of 16 blocks. A byte-addressable main memory contains 4K blocks of 16 bytes each. Access time for the cache is 30 ns and the time required to fill a cache slot from main memory is 250 ns. Assume a request is always started in sequential to cache and then to main memory. If a block is missing from cache, the entire block is brought into the cache and the access is restarted. Initially, the cache is empty. a) Show the main memory address format that allows us to map addresses from main memory to cache. Be sure to include the fields as well as their sizes. b) Compute the hit ratio for a program that loops 4 times from locations 0 to 42 (base 10) in memory. c) Compute the effective access time for this program.
