Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Suppose you have a processor that executes four instructions in a 5-stage pipeline. If each instruction takes 1 cycle in the pipeline, what is the effective instruction throughput of the processor after the pipeline is filled?
💡 Hint: Remember how pipelining works once fully operational.
Question 2
Analyze how implementing a multi-level cache system could benefit a high-performance embedded system. What trade-offs come with this design?
💡 Hint: Consider how levels of cache can either help or worsen issues related to speed and efficiency.
