Guys please i need some help on Associativity and Cache....I really wanted to compare the impact of Associativity on miss rate with cache associativities of 1 , 2 , 4 and 8 on cache with 64 cache lines given the following address requests:
31-63
64-111
31-63
64-111

and which associativities perfom the best and the worst and why?

The next question is to make the cache and the block sizes to remain the same,how does increasing cache associativity affects the tag,index and offset fields sizes?

I been reading about Associativity and Cache but i found those problems a lil difficult for my understanding.Thanks in advance guys.
