Conflict Misses

Question

Will conflict misses increase if k-way set associative cache is used and we increase the cache capacity?

Comments

Whats the previous architecture?

I didn't get you. Can you explain a bit?

I am sorry. I asked something baseless. Sticking to the definition of a conflict miss, I think the conflict misses should decrease because now, there will be less no of RAM blocks mapped to the same set.

Answer 1

If we increase cache size in k-way set associative cache then number of set will increase and number of block mapped to the same set will decrease and hence conflict miss will decrease
