Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a 4-way set associative cache with 16 cache lines, determine how many sets are available. Then, analyze the impact of this associativity on cache misses compared to a direct mapped cache.
💡 Hint: Consider how flexibility affects the overall cache efficiency.
Question 2
Evaluate a scenario where access patterns favor certain memory blocks repeatedly. Suggest a cache strategy that might be most effective and justify your recommendation.
💡 Hint: Think about repeated access and conflicting block locations in caches.
