Question: A microprocessor has an on-chip 2-way set associative cache with a total capacity of 8 kByte. Each line in cache can store sixteen 8-bit words.


A microprocessor has an on-chip 2-way set associative cache with a total capacity of 8 kByte. Each line in cache can store sixteen 8-bit words. It has a total addressable space of 16 MBytes. Number of bits for word (w) equal: O a. 8 O b. 12 O c.4 O d. 2 Direct mapped cache capacity is 1024 bytes. Main memory size is 4096 x 8, block size is 64 bits. Show the format of main memory addresses. O a. Tag= 2bit, line= 9bit, Word= 1bit O b. Tag= 2bit, line= 6bitWord= 4bit c. Tag= 2bit, line= 7bit, Word= 3bit d. Tag = 3bit line= 7bit Word= 2bit
