Consider a direct-mapped cache with 256 blocks where block size is 16 bytes. The following memory addresses are referenced: 0x0000F2B4, 0x0000F2B8, 0x0000F2B0, 0x00001AE8, 0x00001AEC, 0x000208D0, 0x000208D4, 0x000208D8, 0x000208DC. Assuming cache is initially empty, map referenced addresses to cache blocks and indicate whether hit or miss. Compute the hit rate.
