Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a scenario where multiple controls signals must often be active together, design a clustering strategy for those signals that utilize the vertical micro-programming approach efficiently.

💡 Hint: Think about which control signals are frequently triggered simultaneously in operations.

Question 2

Discuss how you would approach a design for a memory system that needs to optimize both speed and space, balancing between vertical and horizontal micro-programming techniques.

💡 Hint: Balance is key; consider trade-offs.
