Q1

Consider the cache for the DEC 3100 shown in Figure 7.8 of the textbook. This is
 a direct mapped cache of size 64 KB with a block size of 1 word.

a) Suppose you redesigned the DEC 3100 cache so that the block size becomes
   16 words. Show the organization of the redesigned cache in a Figure similar
    to Figure 7.10

b) Suppose you redesigned the DEC 3100 cache so that the set associativity
     increases to 2.  Show the organization of the redesigned cache in a Figure
     similar to Figure 7.19

c) Suppose the size of the DEC 3100 cache was increased from 64 KB to 128 KB, and
    the block size was increased to 4 words. Show the organization of the redesigned cache
    in a Figure similar to Figure 7.10.
