Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a main memory space of 32KB with a cache of 4KB and each block size of 64 bytes, create a mapping diagram and calculate the hit and miss ratio after a defined sequence of memory accesses.

💡 Hint: Consider how to relate block sizes to data points.

Question 2

Analyze a scenario where a single cache line requires multiple blocks to access sequentially and the impact this has on system performance.

💡 Hint: What happens when multiple blocks compete for the same line?
