Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Create a simplified flowchart representing the execution of both explicit and implicit jumps in a micro instruction routine.
💡 Hint: Outline how the instruction flows both when the flag conditions are met and not met.
Consider a CPU design with multiple macro instructions that share similar execution paths. Propose a strategy for optimizing the micro routines to balance efficiency with clarity and explain potential pitfalls.
💡 Hint: Be sure to focus on the balance between operational efficiency and code maintainability.
