Cache Structure 
The cache separates data and instructions and uses a 4-way set associative system. It is composed 
of four ways (banks), each of which is divided into an address section and a data section.  
In each way, each of the address and data sections is divided into 128 entries. The data section of 
the entry is called a line. Each line consists of 16 bytes (4 bytes 
 4). The data capacity per way is 
2 Kbytes (16 bytes 
 128 entries), with a total of 8 Kbytes in the cache as a whole (4 ways).  
Figure 8.1 shows the operand cache structure. The instruction cache structure is the same as the 
operand cache structure except for not having the U bit.
