Computer Architecture

Solve this assignment please with the extra credit question as well

CS370 – Homework 3
DUE Thursday, Nov 30 – Canvas
1 – List 3 different ways that virtual memory differs from the cache hierarchy, and for each an
explanation why you believe the structures are set up differently. Focus on how the purpose of
architecture changes as we move from lower level to higher levels.
a.
b.
c.
2 – Recall the concept of “chunking” large data into smaller, more efficient units throughout
different sections of architecture (chunking cache, page tables, etc).
Describe how you would apply the chunking concept to Load Value Approximation.
Extra Credit Question:
Assuming a 512KB 4-way set associative cache with 16B block size, how many bits
does the tag have?
What is the total size, in bits, of the cache including tag bits and data blocks? (Assume
32-bit addressing).
