Assume that you have a direct-mapped cache with 16 one-word blocks that is initially empty, and that you will be given a series of word address references in the following order. Label each reference as a hit or a miss and show the content of the cache in each step. a). word address 54 Hit or Miss? What is the cache content at this point?

a) Miss

b) The cache content is therefore stored in the location point 6

Explanation:

Consider the data:

Total number of words in the block = 16

Number of word blocks = 1

Therefore, each block size =

                                             =

                                             = 16 words per block

a) Consider the address 54

The remainder of the cache represents the cache's address.

Therefore, the remainder of 54%16 = 6. The cache content is therefore stored in the location point 6 and it is considered as a miss.
