[Solved]Aches Important Providing High Performance Memory Hierarchy Proces Sors List 32 Bit Memory Q37235554

aches are important to providing a high-performance memoryhierarchy to proces- sors. Below is a list of 32-bit memory addressreferences, given as word addresses.

3, 181, 42, 4, 190, 87, 191, 12, 183, 44, 185, 253

1. For each of these references, identify the binary address, thetag, and the index given a direct-mapped cache with 16 one-wordblocks. Also list if each reference is a hit or a miss, assumingthe cache is initially empty.

2. Foreachofthesereferences,identifythebinaryaddress,thetag,andtheindexgivenadirect-mapped cache with two-word blocks and a total size of 8blocks. Also list if each reference is a hit or a miss, assumingthe cache is initially empty.

3. You are asked to optimize a cache design for the givenreferences. There are three di- rect-mapped cache designs possible,all with a total of 8 words of data: C1 has 1-word blocks, C2 has2-word blocks, and C3 has 4-word blocks. In terms of miss rate,which cache design is the best? If the miss stall time is 25cycles, and C1 has an access time of 2 cycles, C2 takes 3 cycles,and C3 takes 5 cycles, which is the best cache design?

There are many different design parameters that are important toa cache’s overall per- formance. Below are listed parameters fordifferent direct-mapped cache designs.

Cache Data Size: 32 KiB Cache Block Size: 2 words Cache AccessTime: 1 cycle
