Question 1

What is a data hazard?

  • A problem that occurs in pipelining
  • A type of instruction
  • A hardware component

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what happens when instructions are executed out of order.

Question 2

True or False? Forwarding helps avoid data hazards by delaying instruction execution.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how forwarding functions in a fast-paced instruction cycle.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a simple pipeline architecture with three stages and illustrate a sequence of instructions that could lead to all three types of data hazards.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about common operations and how instructions depend on each other.

Question 2

Evaluate a pipelined architecture under conditions of multiple simultaneous instruction executions and identify any potential data hazards. Propose optimizations.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how each instruction interacts and relies on the previous ones, and propose frameworks like forwarding to alleviate issues.
