Question 1
What happens during a TLB miss?
- Data is obtained directly from cache
- Main memory must be accessed
- Virtual addresses are ignored
💡 Hint: Think about where the CPU goes to find missing information.
Question 2
True or False: Virtually indexed caches avoid TLB access on cache hits.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: What is the main benefit of accessing cache directly via virtual addresses?

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
In an architecture using virtually indexed, physically tagged caches, if two virtual addresses point to the same physical address due to aliasing, how could this impact program execution?
💡 Hint: Consider what happens if two programs share the same data space.
Question 2
Design a strategy to mitigate TLB misses in a high-performance computing environment.
💡 Hint: Think about hardware improvements or algorithms to optimize memory access.
