Let us assume we have a computer with the following properties: Each word of memory holds the standard 1 byte (8 bits) of information. The computer architecture uses 24 bits to specify memory addresses and 8 bits for the opcode. The memory uses a single level cache, each cache line holds 512 bytes in the cache. The total size of the cache is 1 MB. The cache is a two-way set-associative cache.

What is the maximum memory size supported by this computer architecture? (Hint:2¹⁰= 1024 = 1K,2²⁰= 1M,2³⁰ = 1G)

a. 24 bits

b.16 KB

c.16 MB

d. 1 GB
