Question: Consider a virtually indexed physically tagged 512-byte direct-mapped cache in which bits of the virtual page number (VPN) are used to index into the cache.

Consider a virtually indexed physically tagged 512-byte direct-mapped cache in which bits of the virtual page number (VPN) are used to index into the cache. This could cause the synonym problem, where different virtual addresses map to the same physical address. The synonym problem can be prevented by increasing the cache's associativity. Assume a virtual page offset of 6 bits, and a cache line size of 4 bytes. What is the page size in bytes? (Only write the number) A. Question 25 (3 points) How many bits are required for the block offset? (Only write the number) A Question 26 (3 points) How many bits from the virtual page offset are used for indexing into the cache? (Only write the number) A) Question 27 (5 points) What is the minimum number number of ways per set required to prevent the synonym problem? (Only write the number) A
