A cache is set up with a block size of 32 words. There are 64 blocks in cache and set up to be 4-way set associative. You have byte address 0x8923. Show the word address, block address, tag, and index Show each access being filled in with a note of hit or miss. You are given word address and the access are: 0xff, 0x08, 0x22, 0x00, 0x39, 0xF3, 0x07, 0xc0.
Suppose a computer using fully associative cache has 220220 words of main memory and a cache of 128 blocks, where each cache block contains 16 words. (a) How many blocks of main memory are there? (b) What is the format of a memory address as seen by the cache, that is, what are the sizes of the tag and word fields? (c) To which cache block will the memory reference 01D872_{16}01D872_{16} map?
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.
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).

A cache memory system with capacity of N words and block size of B words is to be designed. If it is designed as a direct mapped cache, the length of the TAG field is 14 bits. If it is designed as a 4-way set associative cache, the length of the TAG field will be ………… bits.
