Question 1

What is a key characteristic of a shared system bus?

  • High parallelism
  • Single connection point for all cores
  • Fastest communication method

💡 Hint: Focus on how many channels are available for communication.

Question 2

True or False: A ring architecture allows for communication between non-adjacent cores without latency.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how data travels in a circle.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a multicore system using a shared system bus. Analyze the effect of increasing the number of cores on performance and suggest alternative designs to mitigate bottleneck issues.

💡 Hint: Think about crowd dynamics at an event - more people can slow down movement.

Question 2

Design a hypothetical scenario where a mesh network would outperform both a shared bus and a ring architecture. Discuss the specific conditions and workloads that would favor a mesh.

💡 Hint: Consider high-stakes races where multiple teams need quick exchanges and flexibility in movement.
