for Engineering Education, 2020 An Empirical Study of Multi-Level Cache AssociativityAbstractMost CPUs architecture use multi-level caches with different associativity. A cache plays anessential role by providing fast access to the instructions and data to improve the overallperformance of the system. To demonstrate the complexity of the issue in an advanced computerarchitecture course, we used an empirical simulation study to focus on performance of multi-levelcaches and their associativity. This paper presents the result of such study. Designing andpredicting caches behavior has been subject of numerous simulation studies. Cache simulationtools provide support for diverse configurations of the system with multiple scenarios to

Rather it is a multi-faceted approach of strategies each designed to aid the transition from an often-times easy highschool experience to one in which a student is overwhelmed with the difficulty andresponsibilities of a full-time student.One such strategy that has been implemented at LeTourneau University is a peer mentoringprogram which pairs

Static bendingstress is calculated using strength of material approach while Rayleigh-Ritz method isused to determine dynamic stress on the beam. Both methods are discussed in theappendix of this paper. Finally, finite element stress analysis is carried out usingABAQUS for comparison with the above calculated results.Figure 3 shows the finite element stress analysis for a maximum tip displacement of0.685 mm.
