Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the time it would take for a DMA transfer of 1 MB of data given a transfer rate of 500 MB/s. Discuss how resources are managed during this time.

💡 Hint: Remember the formula: Time = Data Size / Transfer Rate.

Question 2

Consider a scenario where multiple devices are using DMA simultaneously. How does the system manage bus control and prevent conflicts?

💡 Hint: Think about how a system prioritizes tasks in a crowded environment.
