Question 1

Experiment with designing a hypothetical CPU architecture focusing on the control signals needed for efficient data transfer. Identify potential bottlenecks.

💡 Hint: Visualize the flow between components and where delays may occur.

Question 2

Critically evaluate the role of MFC in a multi-core CPU architecture. How would the synchronization issues differ from a single-core CPU?

💡 Hint: Think about how tasks are managed by different cores and their communication.
