Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a case where a team is selecting a processor for a new wearable device, considering power, performance, and cost. They found three options: (A) Cortex-M3 Wi-Fi at 18 mA, (B) Cortex-M0+ BLE at 2 mA, and (C) RISC-V LoRa at 0.6 mA. Discuss how the trade-offs might influence the final decision.

💡 Hint: Consider the primary use of the device in regards to battery life.

Question 2

In a scenario where a new hardware design shows inadequate performance metrics, resulting in potential strategic decisions in cost, quality, and reliability, outline how you would implement performance analysis techniques to address these issues.

💡 Hint: Use a systematic approach to isolate and analyze each performance aspect.
