virtual page question

An other, question how do I figure how many bits are needed for an offset, how many physical page and how many virtual pages. again using 8 bit addressing. 64 bits phyical memory and a page size is 16 bytes.

This what I think I have.

5 bits for the offet.

for the virtual page, 2^8= 256, then 256/16 for 16 virtual pages

Physical pages are 7.

Am I right or totally wrong?

That's definitely wrong.

the 64 bits of physical memory was given by my professor. He knows that it is not realistic.

16 bytes = 128 bits = twice as much memory as you've got.

Perhaps it's meant to be 64 BYTES?

Uh, are we sure the instructor doesn't mean a 64-bit address space? In other words a memory size of 2^64?

64 bits is 8 bytes. Yet a page size of 16 bytes? That's nonsense. I have to believe he meant 2^64 bytes, not 64 bits.
