Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A processor's balloon factory can produce a balloon every 3 seconds without pipelining. If pipelining allows five workers to operate simultaneously, what is the maximum throughput?
💡 Hint: Think about overlapping tasks and the initial filling period.
Question 2
Explain how avoiding stalls through effective hazard management can influence overall processor performance.
💡 Hint: Consider how delays impact overall production efficiency in both pipelines and production lines.
