Consider a system with 2 KB direct mapped data cache with a block size of 64 bytes. The system has a physical address space of 64 KB and a word length of 16 bits. During the execution of a program, four data words P, Q, R, and S are accessed in that order 10 times (i.e., PQRSPQRS .....). Hence, there are 40 accesses to data cache altogether. Assume that the data cache is initially empty and no other data words are accessed by the program. The addresses of the first bytes of P, Q, R, and S are 0$$\times$$A248, 0$$\times$$C28A, 0$$\times$$CA8A, and 0$$\times$$A262, respectively. For the execution of the above program, which of the following statements is/are TRUE with respect to the data cache?

A
Every access to S is a hit.
B
Once P is brought to the cache it is never evicted.
C
At the end of the execution only R and S reside in the cache.
D
Every access to R evicts Q from the cache.

Assume a two-level inclusive cache hierarchy, L1 and L2, where L2 is the larger of the two. Consider the following statements.

S1 : Read misses in a write through L1 cache do not result in writebacks of dirty lines to the L2.

S2 : Write allocate policy must be used in conjunction with write through caches and no-write allocate policy is used with writeback caches.

Which of the following statements is correct? 

A
S1 is true and S2 is true
B
S1 is false and S2 is true
C
S1 is false and S2 is false
D
S1 is true and S2 is false

A computer system with a word length of 32 bits has a 16 MB byte-addressable main memory and a 64 KB, 4-way set associative cache memory with a block size of 256 bytes. Consider the following four physical addresses represented in hexadecimal notation.

A1 = 0x42C8A4, A2 = 0x546888, A3 = 0x6A289C, A4 = 0x5E4880

Which one of the following is TRUE?
A
A1 and A4 are mapped to different cache sets.
B
A1 and A3 are mapped to the same cache set.
C
A3 and A4 are mapped to the same cache set.
D
A2 and A3 are mapped to the same cache set.

A certain processor deploys a single-level cache. The cache block size is 8 words and the word size is 4 bytes. The memory system uses a $60-\mathrm{MHz}$ clock. To service a cache miss, the memory controller first takes 1 cycle to accept the starting address of the block, it then takes 3 cycles to fetch all the eight words of the block, and finally transmits the words of the requested block at the rate of 1 word per cycle. The maximum bandwidth for the memory system when the program running on the processor issues a series of read operations is _________ $\times 10^6$ bytes $/ \mathrm{sec}$.
