Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Assess a scenario where you have both direct-mapped and fully associative caches, and a specific sequence of memory access. Calculate cache hits and misses for each type.
💡 Hint: Track each memory access and manage cache lines appropriately.
Question 2
Given a system with a miss penalty of 20 CPU cycles on a direct-mapped cache, analyze how decreasing the cache size affects the efficiency of the memory system.
💡 Hint: Consider trade-offs between size and processing efficiency.
