Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Consider a direct mapped cache with 16 lines. If accessing block numbers 22, 15, and 62 sequentially, determine which cache lines are used and if any cache misses occur.
💡 Hint: Use the modulo operation for each block number.
Question 2
If a 4-way set associative cache consists of 32 lines, how many sets are there, and what will the line location for block 23?
💡 Hint: Calculate the number of sets based on the way and how block positioning works.
