Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a scenario where a CPU needs to access data using both direct and indirect addressing. How would the performance differ when retrieving a large dataset?

💡 Hint: Think about both the speed of access and the adaptability for changes in data locations.

Challenge 2 Hard

Create an instruction set that utilizes immediate, direct, and indirect addressing to count the number of items stored in a memory address. Explain how each addressing mode affects efficiency.

💡 Hint: Reflect on how using static vs. dynamic references changes the efficiency of counting operations.
