Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Suppose you have a system that starts with R1 = 2 and R5 = 0. If accessing an array located at memory indices 2 to 5, describe how the values in R5 will change after each access.

💡 Hint: Consider how each increment of R1 allows access to a new memory value.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze the relationship between opcode size and how many memory accesses occur for a complex indirect addressing operation in a multi-word instruction setup.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the breakdown of instruction components and their respective memory locations.
