Question

Assume a four-way set associative cache with eight blocks. The address sequence: 1, 2, 5, 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 11, 7, 5, 11

Assuming an LRU replacement policy how many hits does this address sequence exhibit?

Assuming an MRU (most recently used) replacement policy, how many hits does this address sequence exhibit?

Redo a) and b) using direct mapped and fully associative cache organizations. Compare the hit ratios of the direct mapped, four-way set associative, and fully associative schemes.

This is what I've got so far Can anyone tell me if this is correct?
