Question

Caches are important to providing a high-performance memory hierarchy to processors. Below is a list of 32-bit memory address references, given as word addresses. 3, 180, 43, 2, 191, 88, 190, 14, 181, 44, 186, 253 5.2.1 [10] <5.3> for each of these references, identify the binary address, the tag, and the index given a direct-mapped cache with 16 one-word blocks. Also list if each reference is a hit or a miss, assuming the cache is initially empty.

Answer 1

In the computer architecture there are four main parts, which help in running the whole system. The four components are, HDR, RAM,  I/O devices and CPU.

             The RAM is used to keep the data which are needed for computer's processing more frequently, and the same work is done by the cache, which stores all the data having the highest priority for the frequency of data processing
