Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A processor has a deep pipeline architecture. If a control hazard occurs, how many subsequent instructions could be affected by this delay? Analyze the situation.

💡 Hint: Look closely at how many stages could be stalled based on pipeline depth.

Question 2

Design a simple program that showcases at least two control hazards. Explain how each hazard impacts the execution.

💡 Hint: Remember to demonstrate how flow control alters execution.
