For this exercise, you will examine how a cache's configuration affects the total amount of SRAM needed to implement it as well as the performance of the cache. For all parts, assume that the caches are byte addressable, and that addresses and words are 64 bits. 1.

(Notice that, by changing the block size, we doubled the amount of data without doubling the total size of the cache.)A cache memory system with capacity of N words and block size of B words is to be designed. If it is designed as a direct mapped cache, the length of the TAG field is 14 bits. If it is designed as a 4-way set associative cache, the length of the TAG field will be ………… bits.Suppose a byte-addressable computer using set-associative cache has 216 bytes of main memory and a cache of 32 blocks, and each cache block contains 8 bytes.Q.)
