3. The series of memory address references given as word addresses are 122, 126, 126, 126, 116, 300, 116, and 118. Assume a direct-mapped cache with eight one-word blocks that is initially empty. Label each reference in the list as a hit or miss and show the contents of the cache with figure after each reference.
For a direct-mapped cache design with 64-bit addresses, the following bits of the address are used to access the cache: Tag Index Offset 63-13 12-4 3-0 a. What is the cache block size (in bytes)?b. What is the cache size (in bytes)?c. What is the total number of bits (including valid bit, tag bits and data array bits) to implement this cache?d. For the same block and cache sizes, you want to implement a 4-way set-associative cache, what is the number of index bit and the number of tag bits?

Also list if each reference is a hit or a miss, assuming the cache is initially empty. Please explain the process.
Cache Mapping a. A computer system has a main memory with 128 blocks and a cache with 32 blocks. If it uses direct mapping, how many main memory blocks can be mapped to a single cache block? b. In a set-associative cache with 64 blocks and divided into 4 sets, determine the associativity of each set. c. For a fully associative cache with 256 blocks, how many sets are there?
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.) 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?
