14. Consider a byte-addressable computer with 24-bit addresses, a cache capable of storing a total of 64KB of data, and blocks of 32 bytes. Show the format of a 24-bit memory address for:
1.
a) direct mapped 2.
b) associative 3.
c) 4-way set associative 15. *15. Suppose a byte-addressable computer using 4-way setassociative cache has 2 words of main memory (where each word is 32 bits) and a cache of 32 blocks, where each block is four words.
Show the main memory address format for this machine. (Hint:
Because this architecture is byte addressable, and the number of addresses is critical in determining the address format, you must convert everything to bytes.)
