Consider now a fully associative cache where each cache line holds 16 machine words (i.e., the basic addressable unit). The machine word size is 4 bytes. The cache can store 32 Kbytes of data, and the main memory can store 2 Mbytes of data. How many bits of a memory address should be used for the tag? Write your answer in a Base 10 number (and only write down the number).
