Question 1

What is the primary goal of cache replacement policies?

  • To increase the speed of all cache operations
  • To determine which cache block to replace
  • To reduce cache size
  • To manage power consumption

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider why we need strategies when cache is full.

Question 2

True or False: LRU always outperforms FIFO.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about different scenarios and access patterns.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A cache implements both LRU and FIFO. Given the access order of blocks A, B, C, A, B, D, which blocks would be replaced using each policy when adding E?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about usage frequency versus load order.

Question 2

A random replacement policy has just evicted block B from a busy cache. If block C is accessed next, what factors might influence whether B is evicted again or not?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on how random mechanisms contrast structured strategies.
