Caches are important to providing a high-performance memory hierarchy to processors. Below is a list of 64-bits memory address references given as word addresses. 0x03, 0xb4, 0x2b, 0x02, 0xbf, 0x58, Oxbe, 0x0e, Oxb5, 0x2c, Oxba, Oxfd For each of these references identify the binary word address, the tag, and the index given a direct mapped cache with 16 one-word blocks. Also list whether each reference is a hit or a miss, assuming the cache is initially empty.
