Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are tasked with designing a simple instruction set for a CPU that includes operations for loading a value into a register and adding two registers. How would you define the RTL for these operations?

💡 Hint: Think of how data moves in the CPU.

Question 2

Analyze the impact of using a larger number of registers in a CPU. How would this design choice affect performance and programming efficiency?

💡 Hint: Consider the trade-offs between speed and complexity.
