  2. Cache Block Mapping • Direct mapped cache • a block goes in exactly one place in the cache • Fully associative • a block can go anywhere in the cache • difficult to find a block • parallel comparison to speed-up search

  3. Cache Block Mapping • Set associative • Each block maps to a unique set, and the block can be placed into any element of that set • Position is given by (Block number) modulo (# of sets in cache) • If the sets contain n elements, then the cache is called n-way set associative
