What does a direct mapped cache do?
Think about how memory blocks find their place in the cache.
How is the line number determined for a block in a direct mapped cache?
What operation gives us the position?
What is the main characteristic of a direct mapped cache?
Think about how memory blocks locate their designated spots.
True or False: In a fully associative cache, any block can go in any line.
Consider how this contrasts with direct mapped.
Consider a direct mapped cache with 16 lines. If accessing block numbers 22, 15, and 62 sequentially, determine which cache lines are used and if any cache misses occur.
Use the modulo operation for each block number.
If a 4-way set associative cache consists of 32 lines, how many sets are there, and what will the line location for block 23?
Calculate the number of sets based on the way and how block positioning works.
