Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You are designing a micro program that has both 'jump on zero' and 'jump on carry' instructions. How would you optimize them for efficiency in your shared micro routine?

💡 Hint: Consider how shared processes can reduce redundancy.

Challenge 2 Hard

Explain what might happen if the control signals are incorrectly set, leading to unintended jumps in a program.

💡 Hint: Think about the importance of accuracy in control signal setups.
