Multiple choice

Consider two cache organizations: The first one is 32 KB 2-way set associative with 32- byte block size. The second one is of the same size but direct mapped. The size of an address is 32 bits in both cases. A 2-to-1 multiplexer has a latency of 0.6 ns while a k - bit comparator has a latency of k /10 ns. The hit latency of the set associative organization is h1 while that of the direct mapped one is h2.

The value of h1 is:

  1. 2.4 ns

  2. 2.3 ns

  3. 1.8 ns

  4. 1.7 ns
