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. a) If this cache is 2-way set associative, what is the format of a memory address as seen by the cache, that is, what are the sizes of the tag, set, and offset fields? b) If this cache is 4-way set associative, what is the format of a memory address as seen by the cache?
