Q$1.$ Design a cache memory with a size of $256$ kB$.$ You must use the set$-$associativity

to design the cache. Direct mapping and fully associative cache design is

not allowed. Provide the following information in your answer $($show all

your work$)$:

a$.$ Specify your design choices: What is size of each block?

b$.$ Specify your design choices: What is size of each word?

c$.$ Specify your design choices: What type of set association you are

implementing?

d$.$ Specify your design choices: How many groups all the sets are

e$.$ What is the size of the physical address from CPU $($according to

you design$)?$

f$.$ How many sets and blocks are there in the cache $($according to you

design$)?$

g$.$ Justify the size of cache $($should be $256$ kB$)$ again from your design

choices.

h$.$ How many words per group? How many bits needed to index the

number of words per group?
