Properties of different architectures

Software architectures are the blueprint of a software system. They consist of all components involved in a system, relations between various components, the environment of operation, and the principle used in designing the software. In other words, software architecture shows the organization of different software structures and helps understand their behavior.

A byte offset of 2 in an address means that each set in a multiway set associative (or in the directly mapped) cache has 4 bytes per set, per cache line. Keeping this in mind, answer the questions given the following details. A cache is organized as a 4 way set associative cache Each set's cache line consists of 4 words (meaning there are 16 bytes per line, for each set of the cache). Each set individually has one Valid bit, and one Dirty bit, for each line. The tag field of this cache is 8 bits wide. The address is 32 bits wide. Question 1g) If we have a write through cache coherency policy, will either of the above organizations make a difference in the amount of power used to do one write through operation (specifically above this cache layer, in the upper level memory structures to maintain coherency.
Suppose we have a byte-addressable computer with a cache that holds 8 blocks of 16 bytes each. Assuming that each memory address has 16 bits, to which cache block would the hexadecimal address 0x13F map if the computer uses direct mapping? Blocks are numbered starting at 0.
