Assume that you are given a machine with an unknown configuration. You need to find out a host of cache parameters by measuring the time it takes to execute different programs. These programs will be tailor made in such a way that they will reveal something about the underlying system. For answering following set of questions, you need to broadly describe the approach. Assume the cache follows LRU scheme for replacement.?

a. How will you estimate the size of the L1 cache?

b. How will you estimate the L1 block size?

c. How will you estimate the L1 cache associativity?
