/*
 * A CacheSet is a set of cache blocks. A memory block that maps to a set can be
 * put in any of the blocks inside the set. The number of block per set is
 * called the associativity (assoc).
 *
 * Each block contains the stored tag and a valid bit. Since this is not
 * a functional simulator, the data itself is not stored. We only identify
 * whether a block is in the cache or not by searching for its tag.
 *
 * In order to search for memory data in the cache, the set identifier and tag
 * are extracted from the address and the set is probed to see whether a tag
 * match occur.
 *
 * An address is logically divided into three portions: The block offset,
 * the set number, and the tag.
 *
 * The set number is used to identify the set in which the block may exist.
 * The tag is compared against all the tags of a set to search for a match. If a
 * match is found, then the access is a hit.
 *
 * The CacheSet also contains bookkeaping information about eviction details.
