•
the ARM926EJ-S caches are four-way Associative
•
the range of tags addressed by the Index define a Way
•
the number of tags in a Way is the number of Sets, NSETS.
The Set/Way/Word format for ARM926EJ-S caches is shown in Figure 4-3.

In Figure 4-3:
A = log
Associativity.

For example, for a four-way cache A = 2.
S = log
NSETS.
