Caches: Misses and Hits
int i;
int a[1024*1024]; int x=0;
for(i=0;i<1024;i++)
{
x+=a[i]+a[1024*i];
}
Consider the code snippet in code above. Suppose that it is executed on a system with a 2-way set associative 16KB data cache with 32-byte blocks, 32-bit words, and an LRU replacement policy. Assume that int is word-sized. Also assume that the address of a is 0x0, that i and x are in registers, and that the cache is initially empty. How many data cache misses are there? How many hits are there?
