Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
In a CPU implementation, if two consecutive branch instructions are encountered, what strategies can be used to maintain pipeline efficiency, and what potential problems could arise?
💡 Hint: Consider the interplay of predictions between instructions.
Question 2
Consider a program with multiple branches. Analyze how performance metrics might differ between a pipelined architecture using branch prediction and one using only pipeline stalls.
💡 Hint: Think about how each method affects execution timing.
