Question
Now, we consider a 16-byte, four-way, fully-associative cache. Since the capacity of the cache is 16 bytes, the array "a" in our example (does/does not) fit inside the cache. We can deduce that the block size for this cache is ( ? ) bytes per block. So the block index size b=2 bits. For a memory trace record such as: L 1fff000116,2 the 2-bit block offset is (0b01/0b10/0b11/0b00). The tag bits are all the rest of the bits not part of the block offset.

- Take into account the following scenario: we have a byte-addressable computer with 2-way set associative mapping, 16-bit main memory addresses, and 32 blocks of cache memory. Since there are 8 bytes in a block, you can use that information to calculate how big the offset field has to be.arrow_forwardComputer Science You are given a cache that has 16 byte blocks, 512 sets, and is 2-way set associative. Integers are 4 bytes. Give the C code for a loop that has a 100% miss rate in this cache but whose hit rate rises to almost 100% if you double the size of the cache. Do not assume the starting indexes of any arraysarrays.arrow_forwardConsider a memory of size 8KB (8192 bytes) that allows dynamic, variable sized partitioning among processes and uses a linked list to keep track of free spaces (hereafter referred to as the free list) in the memory at any given time. Assume that there are 6 processes and assume that their memory size requirements (in bytes) are as given below: Р1: 500, Р2: 600, Р3: 1300, Р4: 2000, Р5: 100, Р6: 200 Assume that the initial state of the free list is as shown below (BA is the base address and Sz is the size of each free space): ВА: 0; Sz: 1100 — ВА: 1200; Sz: 600 > BА: 2000; Sz: 1800> ВА: 6000%; Sz 400arrow_forward
- Suppose we have a byte-addressable computer with a cache that holds 16 blocks of 4 bytes address has 8 bits, to which cache set would the hexadecimal address OxBE map if the computer mapping? each. Assuming that each memory uses 2-way set associativearrow_forwardplease no chatgpt answer . Consider a demand-paging system with a paging disk that has an average access and transfer time of 20 milliseconds. Addresses are translated through a page table in main memory, with an access time of 1 microsecond per memory access. Thus, each memory reference through the page table takes two accesses. To improve this time, we have added an associative memory that reduces access time to one memory reference, if the page-table entry is in the associative memory. Assume that 80 percent of the accesses are in the associative memory and that, of those remaining, 10 percent (or 2 percent of the total) cause page faults. What is the effective memory access time? Consider the following page reference string: 1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 1, 5, 6, 2, 1, 2, 3, 7, 6, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 6. Assuming demand paging with four frames, Show which pages are resident under the LRU, FIFO, and Optimal replacement algorithms by filling out the following tables. How many page faults would occur…arrow_forwardcache.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(); }arrow_forward
