Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given two instructions: I1 writes data to register R1 and I2 reads from R1 immediately. Explain how this execution may be impacted by a data hazard.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the timing of the operations in pipeline execution.

Question 2

Analyze a scenario where multiple instructions in a pipeline attempt to utilize the same ALU. What type of hazard could occur and how might you resolve it?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on how resource allocation plays a role in pipelining.
