Part1: is related to mapping of memory to cache. For the this part of the project please go to the following website https://www3.ntu.edu.sg/home/smitha/ParaCache/Paracache/start.html Here you will find different tabs for simulating the behavior of direct mapping, associate mapping and set associative mapping and comparison of cache using cache type analysis.

Course Project
==================================================================================
Total Points: 30 Semester: Fall 2023
CLOs Measured:
(CLO 4/ PLO C4/SO 7 Apply new computer architecture model using course project.)
Deadline: Thursday 3
rd November 2022 11:59pm
Presentation will be held in the Week start 6th November
===========================================================================
Project Regulations:
• DONOT, copy-paste explanations/presentations made by other people.
• Do select a good team. A good team is one which can demonstrate contribution from all
members. A bad team is one where, some members contribute, and some do nothing. All team
members will assess, and each member will get the deserve points for their own contribution,
However, if you select a bad team you may suffer despite doing all the work and bad outcome
for the project overall.
• Form team of maximum three students.
• Each team should divide the work amongst the team members and at the start of the presentation
clearly indicate which student has worked on which part.
• Each member should present their own section.
• Total time for presentation is 10 minutes. This means you should not have more than 9 slides.
Each student shall speak for 3 minutes followed by two minutes of question and answers.
• LATE SUBMISSION: you are allowed to make a late submission, but there is a penalty. If you
submit within 24 hours of the due date (so on Friday by 11:59PM), you will receive a 25%
deduction. You will NOT be able to submit after this date/time.
• This project must be submitted online via blackboard.
• If your file is empty or you upload the wrong file, it will be solely your responsibility, and your
grade will be zero.
===========================================================================
Project Description:
The course project provides you an opportunity to explore practical application of course material.
This project consists of two parts, first part will weight 10 points and the second part will weight 15
points from overall points. The rest 5 points will be graded for assessing each student separately in the
presentation.

Part1: is related to mapping of memory to cache. For the this part of the project please go to the
following website https://www3.ntu.edu.sg/home/smitha/ParaCache/Paracache/start.html
Here you will find different tabs for simulating the behavior of direct mapping, associate mapping and
set associative mapping and comparison of cache using cache type analysis.
The goal is, comparison of direct mapping, associative mapping and set associative mapping techniques
and present them as a power point presentation. If you go the tab titled “Cache type analysis” you will
see the options for 4 types of cache.

DO NOT CHANGE
FIFO, Write Back, Write on Allocate options.
SET THE VALUE OF Offset Bits = 0
Set Cache 1 = Direct Mapped Cache
Set Cache 2 = Fully Associative Cache
Set Cache 3 = 2-Way Set Associative Cache
Set Cache 4 = 4-Way Set Associative Cache
CHANGE THE FOLLOWING PARAMETERS
Always set Memory Size > size of Cache then press Submit
Next press Gen. 88 Random Instructions. Then press Submit.
To see how each instruction is loaded from memory or from Cache, depending upon
availability, press Next Instruction.
Press Fast Forward to execute all 88 instructions, one after the other.
TO OBSERVE AND REPORT
1. For All caches (Direct Mapping)
a. Set the size of Cache so that Direct Mapping has the maximum hit ratio and minimum
miss ratio?
b. How can you increase the hit ratio in case of direct mapping by changing some of size of
Caches?
c. In presentation, show the pictures from the simulator containing the values used and
results obtained. Also, give reasons why the hit ratio increases when you change the size
of caches?
d. Explain the reason for the number of bits being used for Tag and for the number of bits
required for RAM address?
2. For All caches (Fully Associative Mapping)
a. Set the size of Cache so that Fully Associative Mapping has the maximum hit ratio and
minimum miss ratio?
b. How can you increase the hit ratio in case of Fully Associative Mapping by changing some
of size of Caches?
c. In presentation, show the pictures from the simulator containing the values used and results
obtained. Also, give reasons why the hit ratio increases when you change the size of
caches?
d. Explain the reason for the number of bits being used for Tag and for the number of bits
required for RAM address?

3. For All caches (4-way Associative Mapping)
a. Set the size of Cache so that 4-way Associative Mapping has the maximum hit ratio and
minimum miss ratio?
b. How can you increase the hit ratio in case of 4-way Associative Mapping by changing
some of size of Caches?
c. In presentation, show the pictures from the simulator containing the values used and results
obtained. Also, give reasons why the hit ratio increases when you change the size of

required for RAM address?
===========================================================================
Part2: Write an Assembly Language Program that:
1. Ask the user to enter three digits octal number (base 8). Hint: The program should
only accept the digits {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}
2. Convert the input into decimal number.
3. Print a message to the user with the result
4. The code with run results should be shown in your presentation.
===========================================================================
