Answer:

3 bits

Explanation:

Given a 4- way set associative cache that has 64 blocks of 16 words.

Therefore, the number of sets cache has:

\frac{64}{4} = 16

Now,

Cache data size is 16kB

The number of cache blocks can be calculated as:

16kB/16 = 1024 bytes/16 byte\times 16 = 256 cache blocks

Now,

Total sets = \frac{cache blocks}{associative sets}

Total sets = \frac{256}{4} = 64

Now,

2^{n} = 64

n = 6

For 15 bit address for the architecture, the bits in tag field is given by:

15 - (6 + 6) = 3 bits

Thus the tag field will have 3 bits
