By convention, a cache is named according to the amount of data it contains (i.e., a 4 KiB cache can hold 4 KiB of data); however, caches also require SRAM to store metadata such as tags and valid bits. For this exercise, you will examine how a cache's configuration affects the total amount of SRAM needed to implement it as well as the performance of the cache. For all parts, assume that the caches are byte addressable, and that addresses and words are 64 bits. (a) Calculate the total number of bits required to implement a 32 KiB cache with two-word blocks. (b) Calculate the total number of bits required to implement a 64 KiB cache with 16-word blocks. How much bigger is this cache than the 32 KiB cache described in Part a? (Notice that, by changing the block size, we doubled the amount of data without doubling the total size of the cache.)

Types of database architectures

A Database Architecture represents the Database Management System’s (DBMS) design (schema). The DBMS architecture makes it easy to understand the components involved in the database system and their relations. The DBMS architecture may vary based on the system on which it runs. Some systems contain both client and server machines whereas some run only on a server machine. Based on the architecture, the system can be classified as centralized, decentralized, or hierarchical.
