Question
Chapter 6, Problem 6.43HW
Program Plan Intro
Given Information:
The given code is:
//declaration of integer buffer
int *iptr= (int *) buffer;
//increment buffer pointer by iterating through buffer
for(; iptr<((int*)buffer)+ 640*480; iptr++)
//reassign the value of iptr as "0"
*iptr=0;

Let's pretend that something unexpected happens: the CPU makes a partially-completed request to the cache at the same time as a block is being returned from the write buffer to main memory. The following steps need to take place.
This chapter explains how to implement the four cache replacement policies.

- For the cache design of the preceding problem, suppose that increasing the line size from one word to four words results in a decrease of the read miss rate from 3.2% to 1.1%. For both the nonburst transfer and the burst transfer case, what is the average miss penalty, averaged over all reads, for the two different line sizes?arrow_forwardFor the same 60 word fully associative cache with 30-word blocks, say the LRU replacement algorithm is used, and the LRU is always kept in index 0.

Each slot in the cache can have just one item (i.e. the line size is 1 item). The cache is empty to start with. The cache uses an LRU replacement policy: every slot has a counter; every time a slot is accessed, a global counter is incremented and the value is stored in the slot counter; the slot with the lowest counter value is chosen for replacement.

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.arrow_forward
- A cache is set up with a block size of 32 words. There are 16 blocks in cache and set up to be direct map. You have byte address 0x8923. Show the word address, block address, tag, and index. Show each access being filled in with a note of hit or miss. You are given word address and the access are: 0xff, 0x08, 0x22, 0x00, 0x39, 0xF3, 0x07, 0xc0arrow_forwardThe following table gives the parameters for a number of differentcaches. Your task is to fill in the missing fields in the table. Recall that m is the number of physical address bits, C is the cache size (number of data bytes), B is the block size in bytes, E is the associativity, S is the number of cache sets, t is the number of tag bits, s is the number of set index bits, and b is the number of block offset bits.arrow_forwardLet's pretend a block is being returned from the write buffer to main memory when the processor makes a partially-completed request to the cache. It is expected that this timeline of events will play out.arrow_forward
