Consider a 32-bit physical memory space and a 32 KiB 2-way associative cache with LRU replacement. You are told the cache uses 5 bits for the offset field. (This is previous part)

Assume the same cache as in the previous part. (4 points)

int ARRAY_SIZE = 64 * 1024;

int arr[ARRAY_SIZE]; // *arr is aligned to a cache block

/* loop 1 */ for (int i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE; i += 8) arr[i] = i;

/* loop 2 */ for (int i = ARRAY_SIZE 8; i >= 0; i -= 8)

arr[i+1] = arr[i];

i. What is the hit rate of loop 1? What types of misses, if any, occur as a result of loop 1? (2 points)

ii. What is the hit rate of loop 2? What types of misses (of the 3 Cs), if any, occur as a result of loop 2? (2 points)
