Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a simple multicore system using different types of interconnect topologies (bus, ring, mesh) for a scenario where cores need to frequently exchange large data files. Assess the benefits and drawbacks of each topology.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about communication efficiency and expected data volume.

Question 2

Explain how IPC mechanisms are critical in a multicore system managing a large-scale data analysis project that requires real-time processing. Discuss which method would you recommend and why.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider speed versus complexity in data sharing.
