$($a$)$

Calculate the total number of bits required to implement a $32$ KiB cache with two$-$word blocks.

$($b$)$

Calculate the total number of bits required to implement a $64$ KiB cache with $16-$word blocks. How much bigger is this cache than the $32$ KiB cache described in Part a$?($Notice that, by changing the block size, we doubled the amount of data without doubling the total size of the cache.$)$
