Objective: Show the influence of the cache size on the miss rate
Please explain problem 1, a, and b
1. Objective: Show the influence of the cache size on the miss rate
Development Configure a system with the following architectural characteristics:
•Processors in SMP = 1
•Cache coherence protocol = MESI
•Scheme for bus arbitration = Random
•Word wide (bits) = 16
•Words by block = 16 (block size = 32 bytes)
•Blocks in main memory = 8192 (main memory size = 256 KB)
•Mapping = Fully-associative•Replacement policy = LRU
Configure the blocks in cache using the following configurations: 2(cache size = 0,03 KB), 4,8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, and 512 (cache size = 16 KB).
For each of the configurations, obtain the miss rate using the trace files : Hydro, Naasa7, Cexp, Comp, and Wave.
a. Does the miss rate increase or decrease as the cache sizes increases? Why?
b. Does the increase of cache size improve the system performance?
