Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
You are designing a new multicore processor and need to explain why opting for eight cores would be better than just upgrading a single-core processor's clock speed?
💡 Hint: Consider the benefits of parallelism versus faster singular task execution.
Question 2
Given Amdahl's Law, analyze how the presence of more cores might reduce the effectiveness of performance increase if the tasks executed are inherently serial.
💡 Hint: Reflect on the limitations of parallel processing.
