Part I

Consider a computer that you have used or now use. (You may make an assumption on word size if needed.)

• How large is the memory of the computer?
• How long is a word in the computer above?
• How many bits are required to address the bytes in that memory?
• How many data lines are required to read data from the computer memory?

Part II

• Does your computer have cache?
• If so how big is it?
• How does your cache size compare with the size of main memory?
• Do you know what kind of cache it is?
• How did you find out about your computer's cache?

 Make an assumption that your cache is either:

• Fully associative
• Direct mapped
• Two-way set-associative
• Four-way set-associative

 Using the relationships in Part I above, determine:

 the size of the Tag and Word for Associative cache;

 OR

 the size of the Tag, Line, and Word for Direct-Mapped Cache ;

 Or

 the size of Tag, Set, and Word for K-Way Set-Associative Cache.

You may make any assumptions necessary including the number of Words in each block (recommend 2 or 4 or 8)

Part III

Given the following:

• Logical Memory size of 1000
• Physical Memory size of 2000
• Page (and frame) size of 100
• Block A contains data for a program

Select Block A's size and its starting point in both memories. Then write the page table for Block A based on your selections.
