Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a scenario where delays in control signals lead to simultaneous writing from the MDR and R1 to the bus, describe what outcomes might occur.

💡 Hint: Focus on the consequences of poor timing.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design a hypothetical CPU that uses multiple data registers. How does this change the operation of write and read from memory compared to standard architecture?

💡 Hint: Consider how multiple paths affect overall operation.
