Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a sequence of CPU operations: Fetch, Decode, Execute, and Write-back, analyze the potential impacts of skipping the Write-back step in a multi-step calculation involving arrays.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Evaluate how these operations depend on one another.

Question 2

Discuss how optimization of the Write-back process impacts not only a single instruction but also the overall pipeline behavior in modern CPUs.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider pipeline stalls and their relationship to instruction flow.
