2 Memory Address 12 Review: Direct-Mapped Cache A B C D E F Memory CS 61C L21 Caches II (2) Cache Index Byte Direct Mapped Cache Cache Location can be occupied by data from: Memory location, 4, 8, 4 blocks => any memory location that is multiple of 4 Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

3 Review: Issues with Direct-Mapped Since multiple memory addresses map to same cache index, how do we tell which one is in there? What if we have a block size > 1 byte? Result: divide memory address into three fields ttttttttttttttttt iiiiiiiiii oooo tag index byte to check to offset if have select within correct block block block CS 61C L21 Caches II (3) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

4 Direct-Mapped Cache Terminology All fields are read as unsigned integers. Index: specifies the cache index (which row of the cache we should look in) Offset: once we ve found correct block, specifies which byte within the block we want Tag: the remaining bits after offset and index are determined; these are used to distinguish between all the memory addresses that map to the same location CS 61C L21 Caches II (4) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

5 Caching Terminology When we try to read memory, 3 things can happen: 1. cache hit: cache block is valid and contains proper address, so read desired word 2. cache miss: nothing in cache in appropriate block, so fetch from memory 3. cache miss, block replacement: wrong data is in cache at appropriate block, so discard it and fetch desired data from memory (cache always copy) CS 61C L21 Caches II (5) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

6 Direct-Mapped Cache Example (1/3) Suppose we have a 16KB of data in a direct-mapped cache with 4 word blocks Determine the size of the tag, index and offset fields if we re using a 32-bit architecture Offset need to specify correct byte within a block block contains 4 words = 16 bytes = 2 4 bytes need 4 bits to specify correct byte CS 61C L21 Caches II (6) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

7 Direct-Mapped Cache Example (2/3) Index: (~index into an array of blocks ) need to specify correct row in cache cache contains 16 KB = 2 14 bytes block contains 2 4 bytes (4 words) # blocks/cache = bytes/cache bytes/block = 2 14 bytes/cache 2 4 bytes/block = 2 1 blocks/cache need 1 bits to specify this many rows CS 61C L21 Caches II (7) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

8 Direct-Mapped Cache Example (3/3) Tag: use remaining bits as tag tag length = addr length offset - index = bits = 18 bits so tag is leftmost 18 bits of memory address Why not full 32 bit address as tag? All bytes within block need same address (4b) Index must be same for every address within a block, so its redundant in tag check, thus can leave off to save memory (1 bits in this example) CS 61C L21 Caches II (8) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

9 Accessing data in a direct mapped cache Ex.: 16KB of Memory data, directmapped, 4 word blocks Read 4 addresses 1. x14 2. x1c 3. x34 4. x814 Memory values on right: only cache/ memory level of hierarchy CS 61C L21 Caches II (9) Address (hex)value of Word C a b c d C C e f g h i j k l Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

10 Accessing data in a direct mapped cache 4 Addresses: x14, x1c, x34, x814 4 Addresses divided (for convenience) into Tag, Index, Byte Offset fields Tag Index Offset CS 61C L21 Caches II (1) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

11 16 KB Direct Mapped Cache, 16B blocks bit: determines whether anything is stored in that row (when computer initially turned on, all entries are invalid) Index Tag x-3 x4-7 x8-b xc-f CS 61C L21 Caches II (11) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

12 1. Read x Tag field Index field Offset Index Tag x-3 x4-7 x8-b xc-f CS 61C L21 Caches II (12) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

13 So we read block 1 (1) 1 1 Tag field Index field Offset Index Tag x-3 x4-7 x8-b xc-f CS 61C L21 Caches II (13) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

14 No valid data 1 1 Tag field Index field Offset Index Tag x-3 x4-7 x8-b xc-f CS 61C L21 Caches II (14) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

15 So load that data into cache, setting tag, valid 1 1 Tag field Index field Offset Index Tag x-3 x4-7 x8-b xc-f 1 1 a b c d CS 61C L21 Caches II (15) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

16 Read from cache at offset, return word b 1 1 Tag field Index field Offset Index Tag x-3 x4-7 x8-b xc-f 1 1 a b c d CS 61C L21 Caches II (16) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

17 2. Read x1c = Tag field Index field Offset Index Tag x-3 x4-7 x8-b xc-f 1 1 a b c d CS 61C L21 Caches II (17) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

18 Index is 1 11 Tag field Index field Offset Index Tag x-3 x4-7 x8-b xc-f 1 1 a b c d CS 61C L21 Caches II (18) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

19 Index valid, Tag Matches 1 11 Tag field Index field Offset Index Tag x-3 x4-7 x8-b xc-f 1 1 a b c d CS 61C L21 Caches II (19) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

20 Index, Tag Matches, return d 1 11 Tag field Index field Offset Index Tag x-3 x4-7 x8-b xc-f 1 1 a b c d CS 61C L21 Caches II (2) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

21 3. Read x34 = Tag field Index field Offset Index Tag x-3 x4-7 x8-b xc-f 1 1 a b c d CS 61C L21 Caches II (21) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

22 So read block Tag field Index field Offset Index Tag x-3 x4-7 x8-b xc-f 1 1 a b c d CS 61C L21 Caches II (22) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

23 No valid data 11 1 Tag field Index field Offset Index Tag x-3 x4-7 x8-b xc-f 1 1 a b c d CS 61C L21 Caches II (23) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

24 Load that cache block, return word f 11 1 Tag field Index field Offset Index Tag x-3 x4-7 x8-b xc-f 1 1 a b c d e f g h CS 61C L21 Caches II (24) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

25 4. Read x814 = Tag field Index field Offset Index Tag x-3 x4-7 x8-b xc-f 1 1 a b c d e f g h CS 61C L21 Caches II (25) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

26 So read Cache Block 1, Data is Tag field Index field Offset Index Tag x-3 x4-7 x8-b xc-f 1 1 a b c d e f g h CS 61C L21 Caches II (26) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

27 Cache Block 1 Tag does not match (!= 2) Tag field Index field Offset Index Tag x-3 x4-7 x8-b xc-f 1 1 a b c d e f g h CS 61C L21 Caches II (27) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

28 Miss, so replace block 1 with new data & tag Tag field Index field Offset Index Tag x-3 x4-7 x8-b xc-f i j k l e f g h CS 61C L21 Caches II (28) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

29 And return word j Tag field Index field Offset Index Tag x-3 x4-7 x8-b xc-f i j k l e f g h CS 61C L21 Caches II (29) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

30 Do an example yourself. What happens? Chose from: Cache: Hit, Miss, Miss w. replace Values returned: a,b, c, d, e,, k, l Read address x3? 11 Read address x1c? 1 11 Cache Index Tag x-3 x4-7 x8-b xc-f i j k l e f g h CS 61C L21 Caches II (3) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

33 Answers x3 a hit Index = 3, Tag matches, Offset =, value = e Index = 1, Tag mismatch, 1c so replace from memory, Offset = xc, value = d x1c a miss Since reads, values must = memory values whether or not cached: x3 = e x1c = d CS 61C L21 Caches II (33) Memory Address Value of Word a b c d c c e f g h i j k l Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

34 Peer Instructions 1. All caches take advantage of spatial locality. 2. All caches take advantage of temporal locality. 3. On a read, the return value will depend on what is in the cache. CS 61C L21 Caches II (34) ABC 1: FFF 2: FFT 3: FTF 4: FTT 5: TFF 6: TFT 7: TTF 8: TTT Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

35 Peer Instruction Answers F A L S E T R U E 1. All caches take advantage of spatial locality. 2. All caches take advantage of temporal locality. F A L S E ABC 1: FFF 2: FFT 3: FTF 4: FTT 5: TFF 6: TFT 7: TTF 8: TTT 3. On a read, the return value will depend on what is in the cache. 1. Block size = 1, no spatial! 2. That s the idea of caches; We ll need it again soon. 3. It better not! If it s there, use it. Oth, get from mem CS 61C L21 Caches II (35) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB

36 And in Conclusion Mechanism for transparent movement of data among levels of a storage hierarchy set of address/value bindings address index to set of candidates compare desired address with tag service hit or miss - load new block and binding on miss address: tag index offset 1 11 Tag x-3 x4-7 x8-b xc-f a b c d CS 61C L21 Caches II (36) Garcia, Spring 24 UCB
