Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Considering a quad-core processor using the MESI protocol, outline the sequence of states for a cache line when it is modified by one core and accessed by others.

💡 Hint: Map out each core's actions step by step.

Question 2

Analyze how not maintaining cache coherence would affect a real-time application, such as video streaming, where multiple cores process the same buffer.

💡 Hint: Consider the importance of real-time data accuracy.
