Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Outline a detailed example of the sequence of micro-operations that would occur in the execution of a STORE instruction in a CPU. Explain each step's control signals and their timing.
💡 Hint: Remember to think about how control signals dictate each operation.
Question 2
Evaluate how a timing mismatch can affect the execution of a conditional jump instruction. What could go wrong if timing isn’t properly coordinated?
💡 Hint: Consider how conditional instructions depend on the state of various flags at specific times.
