**Cache Memory Addressing: Understanding the Main Memory Address Format****Problem Statement:**A 2-way set-associative cache consists of four sets. The main memory contains 2K blocks of 8 bytes each, and byte addressing is used.1. **Task**: Show the main memory address format that allows us to map addresses from main memory to cache. Be sure to include the fields as well as their sizes.**Explanation:**In this scenario, we need to understand how the main memory address is structured to efficiently map into the cache. - **2-Way Set-Associative Cache**: This means each set in the cache can store two blocks of data.- **Cache Structure**: With four sets, it can be visualized as a table with four rows (sets) where each row has two slots (ways) for data blocks.- **Main Memory**: Contains 2K blocks of 8 bytes each, indicating we need to address 2048 blocks. **Address Format:**- **Block Offset**: Determines the specific byte within a block (3 bits are needed because 2^3 = 8).- **Set Index**: Identifies the cache set a block will map to. With four sets, 2 bits (2^2 = 4) are needed.- **Tag**: The remaining bits are used for the tag, which uniquely identifies a block in the cache when combined with the set index.**Fields and Sizes:**- **Block Offset**: 3 bits- **Set Index**: 2 bits- **Tag**: Remaining bits from the total memory address width. This structure helps in efficiently mapping and accessing the main memory data through the cache while avoiding collisions and optimizing performance.

Given:- Number of blocks in the main memory = 2K Number of bytes of each block = 8 bytes The…

5. A computer has an L1 and L2 cache, backed up by DRAM which is backed up by virtual memory. The TLB and L1 caches have hit times of .5 ns. The TLB's backup is the page table in DRAM while L1 cache's backup is an L2 cache. The L2 cache has a hit time of 1.5 ns. DRAM has a hit time of 10 ns. Swap space has a hit time of 2,500,000 ns. The hit rates are: TLB: 98.8%, L1: 91.5%, L2: 97.7%, DRAM: 99.9998% and swap space 100%. What is the effective access time?
