Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a micro routine that incorporates both implicit jumps for 'JMPZ' and explicit jumps for 'JMP C'. Detail how control signals would differ.
💡 Hint: Think about how you would structure the conditions within the routine.
Using architecture, illustrate how to optimize micro instructions for commands like 'ADD', 'SUB', and 'MUL' that share similar operations.
💡 Hint: Use flow charts to visualize shared and diverging control pathways.
