Question

) Assume a 32-bit memory address, and a 128KB direct-mapped cache with 64-byte blocks.

Show how the memory address is divided into tag, index and offset. Indicate clearly how many bits are in each.

1b) Consider the memory address 0x2c0868. For the cache in part a, what are its tag and index? Show in binary.

1c) Suppose an access to 0x2c0868 is a cache miss. For the cache in part a, what are the addresses of the (aligned) words that are brought into the cache?
