Consider now a fully associative cache where each cache line holds 32 words. The machine word (the addressable unit) size is 2 bytes. The capacity of the cache is 64 Kibytes, and main memory can store 2 Mbytes (2 MiBytes). How many bits of a memory address should be used for the tag? Write your answer in a Base 10 number (and only provide the number in the answer box):
