In this exercise, we will examine how replacement policies impact miss rate. Assume a 2-way set associative cache with 4 blocks. To solve the problems in this exercise, you may find it helpful to draw a table like the one below, as demonstrated for the address sequence “0, 1, 2, 3, 4.”   Consider the following address sequence: 0, 2, 4, 8, 10, 12, 14, 8, 0. 5.1 – Assuming an LRU replacement policy, how many hits does this address sequence exhibit? Please show the status of the cache after each address is accessed. 5.2 – Assuming an MRU (most recently used) replacement policy, how many hits does this address sequence exhibit? Please show the status of the cache after each address is accessed.
