Q. 32 Consider two cache organizations: The first one is 32 KB 2-way set associative with 32-bytes block size. The second one is of the same size but direct mapped. The size of an address is 32 bits in both cases A2-to-1 multiplexes has latency of 0.6 ns where a k -bit comparator has a latency of k/10ns . The hit latency of the set associative organization is h1 while that of the direct mapped one is h2. The value of h2 is
(A) 2.4ns
(B) 2.3ns
(C) 1.8ns
(D) 1.7ns
Answer: (A)
