 Q (1) Suppose a computer using direct mapped cache has 220 words of main
memory, and a cache of 32 blocks, where each cache block contains 16
words.

 How many blocks of main memory are there?

 What is the format of a memory address as seen by the cache, i.e.,

what are the sizes of the tag, block, and word fields?

 To which cache block will the memory reference 0DB6316 map?

 Q (2) Suppose a computer using direct mapped cache has 232 words of main
memory, and a cache of 1024 blocks, where each cache block contains 32 words.

 How many blocks of main memory are there?

 What is the format of a memory address as seen by the cache, i.e.,

what are the sizes of the tag, block, and word fields?

 To which cache block will the memory reference 000063FA16 map?

 Q (3) Consider a byte-addressable computer with 24-bit addresses, a cache

capable of storing a total of 64K bytes of data and blocks of 32 bytes. Show
the format of a 24-bit memory address for direct mapped cache.
