Question 1

What is the primary purpose of cache memory?

  • To store data permanently
  • To temporarily hold frequently accessed data
  • To manage CPU processes

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how the CPU needs to access data quickly.

Question 2

True or False: In fully associative cache, any block of data can occupy any cache line.

  • True

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the trade-off between flexibility and resource management.

Question 2

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?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the consequence of eviction based on time rather than use.
