For each part of this exercise, assume the initial cache and memory state in Figure 4.42. Each
Question:
P#:
Where P# designates the CPU (e.g., P0),
What is the final state (i.e., coherence state, tags, and data) of the caches and memory after the given sequence of CPU operations has completed? Also, what value is returned by each read operation?
a. P0: read 100
b. P0: read 128
c. P0: write 128 <-- 78
d. P0: read 120
e. P0: read 120 P1: read 120
f. P0: read 120 P1: write 120 <-- 80
g. P0: write 120 <-- 80 P1: read 120
h. P0: write 120 <-- 80 P1: write 120 <-- 90
