ARM926EJ-S cache associativity

Set/way/word format for ARM926EJ-S caches

The following points apply to the ARM926EJ-S cache associativity: The group of tags of the same index defines a set.

The number of tags in a set is the associativity. The ARM926EJ-S caches are 4-way associative.

The range of tags addressed by the index defines a way. The number of tags is a way is the number of sets, NSETS.

This table shows values of S and NSETS for an ARM926EJ-S cache.
