Q73

Consider a machine with a $2$-way set associative data cache of size $64$ Kbytes and block size $16$ bytes. The cache is managed using $32$ bit virtual addresses and the page size is $4$ Kbytes. A program to be run on this machine begins as follows: double ARR[1024][1024]; int i, j; /*Initialize array ARR to 0.0 */ for(i = 0; i < 1024; i++) for(j = 0; j < 1024; j++) ARR[i][j] = 0.0; The size of double is $8$ bytes. Array $\text{ARR}$ is located in memory starting at the beginning of virtual page $\textsf{0xFF000}$ and stored in row major order. The cache is initially empty and no pre-fetching is done. The only data memory references made by the program are those to array $\text{ARR}$. The cache hit ratio for this initialization loop is:
