Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Suppose you have an instruction to fetch a simple value from memory, then perform an addition. Using clock grouping, outline a sequence that would optimize this operation and explain your reasoning.

💡 Hint: Look for tasks that can be completed in tandem or do not rely on each other's results.

Question 2

How might clock grouping change if a failure occurs at the memory access stage? Analyze the effect on efficiency and propose mitigation strategies.

💡 Hint: Consider how systems often handle failures in a structured way.
