Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Design a simplified ALU that can execute at least three operations (addition, subtraction, and multiplication). Discuss the hardware requirements and any potential trade-offs involved.
💡 Hint: Consider the balance between area and speed when deciding on hardware implementations.
Question 2
Evaluate a scenario where performance is critical (e.g., gaming CPUs) versus a situation where cost-efficiency is more essential. Compare how the ALU's design would differ in each case.
💡 Hint: Think about the implications for end-users and the intended use of each device.
