Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a scenario where a CPU with multiple bus architecture has a processing speed improvement of 60% over a single bus CPU, quantify how this speed can impact overall processing time if an operation takes 10 seconds on a single bus.

💡 Hint: Consider the formula for calculating speed efficiency combined with the initial time taken.

Question 2

Discuss how the integration of multiple bus systems might lead to increased complexities in circuit designs. What might be the considerations to balance performance and costs?

💡 Hint: Consider how the budget allocates resources in manufacturing.
