Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You have a computer with eight cores, and four tasks to run. Each task is independent but takes varying amounts of time (2, 4, 3, and 1 minutes). How long will it take to complete all tasks when using TLP? Discuss the rationale.
💡 Hint: Consider how parallel execution affects overall completion.
Design a simple multithreaded application that can utilize TLP effectively. What tasks would you include and how do they stay independent?
💡 Hint: Think about tasks in a software context that do not have to wait for each other.
