Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Analyze the performance impact of integrating a new instruction into a pipelined processor that requires a memory access at the same time as another instruction's memory fetch. Discuss how this may introduce structural hazards.
💡 Hint: Consider how this setup resembles a traffic jam.
Question 2
Consider an execution scenario with multiple branches in a program. What techniques would best mitigate control hazards in pipelined execution, and how would each work?
💡 Hint: Think about the importance of estimating the future in planning.
