Consider a machine with a byte addressable main memory of $${2^{20}}$$ bytes, block size of $$16$$ bytes and a direct mapped cache having $${2^{12}}$$ cache lines. Let the addresses of two consecutive bytes in main memory be $${\left( {E201F} \right)_{16}}$$ and $${\left( {E2020} \right)_{16}}$$. What are the tag and cache line address (in $$hex$$) for main memory address $${\left( {E201F} \right)_{16}}$$?

Assume that for a certain processor, a read request takes $$50$$ nanoseconds on a cache miss and $$5$$ nanoseconds on a cache hit. Suppose while running a program, it was observed that $$80\% $$ of the processor's read requests result in a cache hit. The average read access time in nanoseconds is __________.

An access sequence of cache block addresses is of length $$N$$ and contains $$n$$ unique block address. The number of unique block addresses between two consecutive accesses to the same block address is bounded above by $$k.$$ What is the miss ratio if the access sequence is passed through a cache of associativity $$A\, \ge \,k$$ exercising least-recently-used replacement policy?

In a $$k$$-way set associative cache, the cache is divided into $$v$$ sets, each of which consists of $$k$$ lines. The lines of a set are placed in sequence one after another. The lines in set $$s$$ are sequenced before the lines in set $$(s+1).$$ The main memory blocks are numbered $$0$$ onwards. The main memory block numbered $$j$$ must be mapped to any one of the cache lines from
