Page 2 EXERCISE 2 – MESI PROTOCOL (5 points) Let’s consider the following access patterns on a 4-processor system with a direct-mapped, write-back cache with one cache block per processor and a two-cache block memory. Assume the MESI protocol is used, with write-back caches, write-allocate, and write-invalidate of other caches. Please complete the following table: Cycle After Operation P0 cache block state P1 cache block state P2 cache block state P3 cache block state Memory at bl. 0 up to date? Memory at bl. 1 up…
