Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given an initial architecture requiring 50 control signals, redesign it using clustering techniques to optimize it down to 25 signals. Justify your approach.
💡 Hint: Consider how many signals can be active at the same time.
Question 2
Consider a CPU with multiple operations. How would you create a clustering strategy that allows the ALU to handle simultaneous arithmetic functions without contention?
💡 Hint: Think about how ALU functions relate to available inputs and outputs.
