Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Discuss how implementing a fully associative cache may influence the performance of a system compared to a direct-mapped cache.

💡 Hint: Consider the trade-off between flexibility and resource management.

Challenge 2 Hard

Consider a system using FIFO replacement policy. Analyze a scenario of frequent access to a couple of cache blocks while others are less accessed. What implications would arise?

💡 Hint: Think about the consequence of eviction based on time rather than use.
