GATE CSE 2021 Set 2 | Question: 19
Consider a set-associative cache of size $\text{2KB (1KB} =2^{10}$ bytes$\text{)}$ with cache block size of $64$ bytes. Assume that the cache is byte-addressable and a $32$ -bit address is used for accessing the cache. If the width of the tag field is $22$ bits, the associativity of the cache is _________

NIELIT 2017 DEC Scientific Assistant A - Section B: 56
In a particular system it is observed that, the cache performance gets improved as a result of increasing the block size of the cache. The primary reason behind this is : Programs exhibits temporal locality Programs have small working set Read operation is frequently required rather than write operation Programs exhibits spatial locality

Andrew S. Tanenbaum (OS) Edition 4 Exercise 4 Question 32 (Page No. 335)
The performance of a file system depends upon the cache hit rate (fraction of blocks found in the cache). If it takes $1\: msec$ to satisfy a request from the cache, but $40\: msec$ to satisfy a request if a disk read is needed ... request if the hit rate is $h.$ Plot this function for values of $h$ varying from $0$ to $1.0.$

Andrew S. Tanenbaum (OS) Edition 4 Exercise 1 Question 4 (Page No. 81)
To use cache memory, main memory is divided into cache lines, typically $32$ or $64$ bytes long. An entire cache line is cached at once. What is the advantage of caching an entire line instead of a single byte or word at a time?
