Suppose a byte-addressable computer using 4-way setassociative cache has 216 words of main memory (where each word is 32 bits) and a cache of 32 blocks, where each block is four words. Show the main memory address format for this machine. (Hint: Because this architecture is byte addressable, and the number of addresses is critical in determining the address format, you must convert everything to bytes.)
