Internal Assignment 2 On Memory Organization F.M-100

This document discusses various memory organization concepts including cache memory policies, locality of reference, hit ratio, miss penalty, L1 and L2 caches, cache mapping techniques, and example problems calculating average access time and efficiency. It also defines virtual memory, reasons for its use, and why it is called virtual. Finally, it covers memory hierarchy, RAM classifications as volatile and random access, differences between SRAM and DRAM, volatile vs non-volatile memory, ROM types, and differences in working principles between RAM and ROM.

INTERNAL ASSIGNMENT 2 ON MEMORY ORGANIZATION F.

M-100
1. What is cache memory? Discuss write back and write through policy of cache memory? How it
increases the speed of execution of computer? what is locality of reference? Discuss each type
of locality of reference? what is hit ratio? what is hit rate? what is mss rate? what is miss
penalty? Difference between L1 cache and L2 cache? What is cache mapping? Discuss different
types of cache mapping(direct,associative,set associative) with their merits and demerits?
PROBLEM:1
A hierarchical cache main memory has the following subsystem has the following specification:
Cache access time of 160 ns
Main memory access time of 960 ns
Hit ratio of cache memory is 0.9
Cal a)Avg access time of memory system?
b)Efficiency of memory system?
PROBLEM 2
Given the following,determine the size of sub fields in the address for Direct,associative and set-
associative cache mapping scheme:
Main memory size 512MB
Cache mmory size 1MB
Address space of processsor 512 MB
Block size 128B
8 blocks in cache set 2+3+2+2+5+1+1+1+1+4+2+(3*5)+5+(3*2)
