Question 1
What is a branch instruction?
- A way to loop indefinitely
- A control structure that alters execution flow
- A method to shut down the processor
💡 Hint: Think of structures that decide what code runs.
Question 2
True or False: Control hazards occur when the processor is unsure of the next instruction to fetch due to a branch.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Relate this to how branching can cause delays.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Design a simple pseudocode that includes at least two different branch instructions and explain how it is affected by pipeline architecture.
💡 Hint: Consider how branching decisions affect fetch times in the pipeline.
Question 2
Evaluate the impact of a series of nested loops on the performance of a pipelined processor. What hazards might occur?
💡 Hint: Think about the number of decisions and how they can cause complications in the pipeline.
