Consider a direct-mapped cache with 216 words in main memory. the cache has 16 blocks of 8 words each. it is a word-addressable computer (rather than a byte-addressable computer which we normally discuss). (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, cache block, and block offset fields (if they apply)? (c) to which cache block will the memory reference db6316 map?

Write a function called checkfactor that takes two arrays of positive numbers, firstnumberrow and secondnumberrow. checkfactor checks if the first entry in firstnumberrow is divisible by the first entry in secondnumberrow, and performs the same operation on the next array elements until all entries have been checked. all the numbers are positive and the number of entries in the arrays are the same. the function should return the identified divisible numbers in two row arrays named firstdivisible and seconddivisible. restrictions: branches or loops should not be used. the code must use the internal mod and logical functions. hint: the mod function should be used to determine if two numbers are divisible. ex: for num1 and num2 if mod(num1,num2) is 0, then the two numbers are divisible. this is matlab
