Suppose we have a system with the following properties:

• . The memory is byte addressable.

• . Memory accesses are to 1-byte words (not to 4-byte words).

• . Addresses are 12 bits wide.

• . The cache is two-way set associative (E = 2), with a 4-byte block size (B = 4) and four sets (S = 4).

The contents of the cache are as follows, with all addresses, tags, and values given in hexadecimal notation:

A. The following diagram shows the format of an address (1 bit per box). Indicate (by labeling the diagram) the fields that would be used to determine the following:

B. For each of the following memory accesses indicate if it will be a cache hit or miss when carried out in sequence as listed. Also give the value of a read if it can be inferred from the information in the cache.
