Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given an instruction that adds two numbers located in different registers, compare the execution time in both single and three-bus architectures considering control signal management.

💡 Hint: Remember to consider not just time, but how tasks are managed.

Question 2

Consider a scenario where multiple data transfers happen simultaneously in a three-bus architecture. Discuss how this impacts the control signals versus a single bus system.

💡 Hint: Think about how much more traffic control is needed at a busy intersection.
