Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a simple simulation of a pipeline architecture that handles 4 basic instructions (like ADD, SUB, MUL, DIV) and describe how you would optimize it for speed.

💡 Hint: Focus on how to minimize hazards through effective scheduling.

Challenge 2 Hard

Evaluate how pipelining can be applied in a modern CPU and discuss the limitations compared to non-pipelined designs.

💡 Hint: Think about the performance gains versus the design challenges.
