+ * 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 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.
