. Cache Write Policies In a cache system using a write-back policy, if a cache block is modified and marked as "dirty" but not yet updated in the main memory, and that block is selected for replacement, what action should be taken to ensure data integrity?
Whaqt are Issues with Writes in respect with cache memory ?
In designing a computer’s cache system, the cache block or cache line size is an important parameter. Which of the following statements is correct in this context? A smaller block size implies better spatial locality A smaller block size implies a smaller cache tag and hence lower cache tag overhead A smaller block size implies a larger cache tag and hence lower cache hit time A smaller bock size incurs a lower cache miss penalty
Explain how the set-associative cache concept combines the concepts of direct cache and fully associative cache in a single concept.
Computer science question
A cache is organized as a 4 way set associative cache Each set's cache line consists of 4 words (meaning there are 16 bytes per line, for each set of the cache). Each set individually has one Valid bit, and one Dirty bit, for each line. The tag field of this cache is 8 bits wide. The address is 32 bits wide. Question 1a) What is the number of cache lines? Question 1b) What is the total number of 'memory bitcells' that are needed to design this cache (note, this includes the bitcells required for the tags, valid and dirty bits).
QUESTION 2 Suppose a computer using direct mapped cache is using 216 (64K) bytes of byte-addressable main memory, and a cache size of 4096 bytes, where each cache block contains 256 bytes. a) How many blocks of main memory are there? b) What is the format of a memory address as seen by cache, i.e. what are the length of the tag, block, and offset fields? c) Given memory address 2B9D (in hexadecimal format), which block in the cache will be searched? (What is that block's id?)

Exercise 1: Consider a word-addressable memory of 16 GB, where each word is composed of 128 bits. This memory is directly mapped to a cache of 1 MB composed of blocks where each block contains 16 words. a) What is length (in bits) of the address provided by the processor? b) What is the length (in Bytes) of one memory block? c) How many lines does the cache have? d) What is the length (in bits) of each of the TAG, LINE, and OFFSET? e) Which line in cache can hold the address 00000FOF?

Memory system includes the elements: Main Memory=16 Mbytes, Cache=128Kbytes, Block= 8bytes. A) Design a direct-mapped cache memory system. (Draw the block diagram of the cache and mention on the diagram the values of: s, s+w, w, r, s-r) B) For the main memory addresses: 7AF9CD H show the following information, in hexadecimal format: a. Tag, Line, and Word values for a direct-mapped cache. b. Tag and Word values for an associative cache. c. Tag, Set, and Word values for a 4-way set associative cache.
