Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Assume a system using Burst Transfer Mode needs to transfer 10 MB of data with a 1000-byte bus. Calculate how many transfer cycles will be required.

💡 Hint: Convert MB to bytes first!

Question 2

During a Cycle Stealing transfer, if the CPU has 4 tasks to perform with a transfer taking 2ms each, what is the impact on tasks completion time?

💡 Hint: Consider how much 'waiting' is involved with each transfer.
