Assume that we have a computer with a cache memory of 512blocks with a total size of 128K bits. Knowing that the computer uses a word addressable mode and the format of the memory address as seen by the Fully associative cache scheme is as shown below, answer the below questions:                                            Fully Associative Cache Format     1- How many words do we have in each cache block?  2- What is the size of each word?  3- What is the size of the main memory?  4- How many blocks are there in the main memory?   5- Draw the format of the memory address as seen by the Direct Mapped Cache scheme, showing the fields as well as their sizes.

Assume that we have a computer with a cache memory of 512blocks with a total size of 128K bits.

Knowing that the computer uses a word addressable mode and the format of the memory address as seen by the Fully associative cache scheme is as shown below, answer the below questions:

                                           Fully Associative Cache Format

 

 

1- How many words do we have in each cache block? 
2- What is the size of each word? 
3- What is the size of the main memory? 
4- How many blocks are there in the main memory?  
5- Draw the format of the memory address as seen by the Direct Mapped Cache scheme, showing the fields as well as their sizes.
