I need help with the questions below so I have a direct-mapped cache, like in the images attached. Also, I need to know the cache size, block size, word size, index bits (log2 # of blocks), block offset bits (log2 # of words in a block), byte offset bits (log2 # of bytes in a word), and tag bits (# of address bits - (# of index bits+# of block offset bits+# of byte offset bits). 3.0 Caches are important to providing a high-performance memory hierarchy to processors. Below is a list of 32-bit hexadecimal memory addresses, given as byte addresses. 74, A0, 78, 38C, AC, 84, 88, 8C, 7C, 34, 38, 13C, 388, 18C

3.0.1 For each of these references, identify the index and the tag, given a direct-mapped cache with 8 one-word blocks. List if each reference is a hit or a miss, assuming the cache is initially empty and show every entry to the cache, including the tag value and the addresses of all data items stored. Use hexadecimal or binary, whichever is easier.
3.0.2 For each of these references, identify the index and the tag, given a direct-mapped cache with two word blocks and a total of 16 words. List if each reference is a hit or a miss, assuming the cache is initially empty and show every entry to the cache, including the tag value and the addresses of all data items stored. Use hexadecimal or binary, whichever is easier.

32 bytes x 1 word/4 bytes x 1 block/2 words x 1 set/1 block = 4 sets
Index = 2 bits, Byte offset = 2 bits, Block offset = 1 bit, Tag = 8− (2 + 2 + 1) = 8− 5 = 3

In order to determine the cache size, block size, word size, index bits, block offset bits, byte offset bits, and tag bits for a direct-mapped cache, It is important to analyze the cache configuration.
In the provided questions there are two different cache configurations, so calculate the parameters for each:
