Question 1

What is a cache hit?

  • Data not found in cache
  • Data found in cache
  • Data written back to memory

💡 Hint: Focus on what happens when data is successfully retrieved.

Question 2

True or False: A write-back policy writes data to main memory immediately after modification.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about what happens to memory after writing.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a computer system with a cache that has an LRU replacement algorithm. If the following requests are made in sequence: A, B, C, A, D, B, E, A, C, what will the cache state look like after all requests assuming a cache size of 3?

💡 Hint: Track which items are accessed most recently.

Question 2

Examine the trade-offs between using a direct-mapped cache versus a set-associative cache. In what scenarios would one be preferred over the other?

💡 Hint: Think about performance versus complexity.
