Suppose a computer using fully associative cache has 220220 words of main memory and a cache of 128 blocks, where each cache block contains 16 words. (a) How many blocks of main memory are there? (b) What is the format of a memory address as seen by the cache, that is, what are the sizes of the tag and word fields? (c) To which cache block will the memory reference 01D872_{16}01D872_{16} map?
