a$.$ Assume a direct$-$mapped cache that holds $4096$ bytes, where each block is $16$ bytes.

Assuming an address is $32$ bits and that cache is initially empty, complete the table below using

hexadecimal numbers for all answers. Which, if any of the addresses will cause a collision $($forcing

the block that was just brought in to be overwritten$)$ if they are accessed one right after the other?

b$.$ Redo a$)$ assuming that cache is $16-$way set associative.
