Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A system has a cache with 16 lines. If an incoming memory block has an address of 50, which line would it go to in a Direct Mapping cache?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the mod formula to determine the cache line.

Question 2

Consider a cache with 4 sets, each containing 2 lines. A memory block can be placed in any line within its assigned set, but how does that improve upon Direct Mapping?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the flexibility introduced by grouping lines into sets.
