Media applications that play audio or video files are part of a class of workloads called “streaming” workloads; i.e., they bring in large amounts of data but do not reuse much of it. Consider a video streaming workload that accesses a 512 KB working set sequentially with the following address stream: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, … 5.6.1 [5] Assume a 64 KB direct-mapped cache with a 32-byte line. What is the miss rate for the address stream above? How is this miss rate sensitive to the size of the cache or the working set? How would you categorize the misses?

Media applications that play audio or video files are part of a class of workloads
called “streaming” workloads; i.e., they bring in large amounts of data but do not
reuse much of it. Consider a video streaming workload that accesses a 512 KB
working set sequentially with the following address stream:
0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, …
5.6.1 [5] <5.5, 5.3> Assume a 64 KB direct-mapped cache with a 32-byte line.
What is the miss rate for the address stream above? How is this miss rate sensitive
to the size of the cache or the working set? How would you categorize the misses?
