Suppose a computer using a direct-mapped cache has 2^32 bytes of byte-addressable main memory and a cache of 1024 blocks, where each cache block contains 32 bytes.
- How many blocks of main memory are there
- What is the format of a memory address as seen by the cache; that is, what are the sizes of the tag, block, and offsets fields?
- To which cache block will the memory address 0x000063FA map?
