A set-associative cache consists of 64 lines, or slots, divided into four-line sets. Main memory contains 4K blocks of 128 words each. Show the format of main memory addresses.
The cache is divided into 16 sets of 4 lines each. Therefore, 4 bits are needed to
identify the set number. Main memory consists of 4K = 212 blocks. Therefore, the
set plus tag lengths must be 12 bits and therefore the tag length is 8 bits. Each block contains 128 words. Therefore, 7 bits are needed to specify the word.
