Question
5.2 Caches are important to providing a high-performance memory hierarchy to processors. Below is a list of 32-bit memory address references, given as word addresses. 3, 180, 43, 2, 191, 88, 190, 14, 181, 44, 186, 253
5.7.1 Using the sequence of references from Exercise 5.2, show the final cache contents for a three-way set associative cache with two-word blocks and a total size of 24 words. Use LRU replacement. For each reference identify the index bits, the tag bits, the block offset bits, and if it is a hit or a miss.
Explanation / Answer
identify the binary address, the tag, and the index given a direct-mapped cache
