Question: Problem 5 : Cache Overhead ( 1 5 points ) ( L 1 9 ) A new company has proposed a number of different cache
Problem : Cache Overhead pointsL
A new company has proposed a number of different cache layouts for their system, and youve been asked to come in and calculate the overhead for each of the different caches. Their system uses a cache with KB of data storage capable of addressing exactly GB of
byteaddressable memory you should assume addresses are only as large as needed to access this amount Stores will be handled by writeback and allocateonwrite policies. Please be sure to show the work for your calculations.
The first design is a fully associative cache with a block size of bytes, how many bytes of overhead would the cache keep in total including any necessary tag bits, valid bits, dirty bits, or LRU bits
Their next design utilizes a direct mapped cache with different cache lines. How many bytes of overhead would the cache keep in total including any necessary tag bits, valid bits, dirty bits, or LRU bits
Finally, theyve suggested a way set associative cache with different sets. How many bytes of overhead would the cache keep in total including any necessary tag bits, valid bits, dirty bits, or LRU bits
