So, what should happen when a processor sends a request that fails to be fulfilled in the cache while a block is being sent back to main memory from the write buffer, exactly?
What should happen if the processor issues a request during block writing from the write buffer to main memory and the request is satisfied by the cache?
During this time, what should happen if the processor sends a request that isn't met in the cache? Is there anything else that should happen?
How should the CPU react if it is unable to satisfy a cache request while writing a block from the write buffer back into main memory?
A 2-way set associative cache consists of four sets. Main memory contains 2K blocks of eight words each. Show the main memory address format that allows us to map addresses from main memory to cache. Be sure to include the fields as well as their sizes. Compute the hit ratio for a program that loops 6 times from locations 8 to 51 in main memory. You may leave the hit ratio in terms of a fraction. Please show details how you obtain the result.
A CPU that supports little endian format reads two integer (4-byte) values from address 0x1000 and 0x2000. The values read are 55 and 6850 respectively. Please show the memory contents (byte-wise) at address 0x1000 and 0x2000?
What is the difference, if any, between putting the value 5 into cell number 6 and shifting the contents of cell number 5 into cell number 6 if the memory cell located at address 5 now holds the value 8?
What does write back mean in terms of cache? Group of answer choices a. When an error occurs in memory, the cache is written back to the memory. b. When a bit in the cache is changed, the entire block is written to memory. c. When a line is evicted, the block it contains is written to memory.
Required reference strings needed for the Execution is given below 1000 AA 1002 AC 1004 DA 1006 CC 1008 1010 1012 65 DE AA 1014 1016 ЕЕ FF Can you map the required program with the virtual memory mapping. Main memory can hold 5K lines ( 1K per line) and cache memory size is 3k.
What should happen if the processor issues a request that triggers a cache hit while it is in the midst of flushing a block from the write buffer back to main memory?
A computer is using a fully associative cache and has 216 bytes of main memory (byte addressable) and a cache of 64 blocks, where each block contains 32 bytes. a. How many blocks of main memory are there? b. What will be the sizes of the tag, index, and byte offset fields? c. To which cache set will the memory address 0xF8C9(hexadecimal) map?
What should happen if the processor provides a request that is not satisfied in the cache while a block is being transferred back to main memory from the write buffer?
