Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design an application scenario for an FPGA in a telecommunications system where high parallelism enhances performance. Discuss potential challenges and solutions.

💡 Hint: Focus on the specific telecommunications needs and how parallel processing meets them.

Challenge 2 Hard

Calculate the potential speedup of an FPGA application that handles N operations compared to a CPU that handles them sequentially. If an FPGA can handle N operations in T seconds, how long would it take a CPU with similar architecture?

💡 Hint: Think about the time taken by each processor to complete tasks.
