(a) What is the hit and miss rate of the direct-mapped cache in Part A?
(b) What is the hit and miss rate of the 4-way set associative cache in Part B?
(c) Assume a machine with a CPI of 4 and a miss penalty of 10 cycles. Ignoring writes, calculate the ratio of the performance of the 4-way set associative cache to the direct-mapped cache. In other words, what is the speedup when using the machine with the 4-way cache?
