Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You have two hardware designs: Design A has a high throughput with a significant latency issue, while Design B has moderate throughput with almost no latency. Which design would you prefer to optimize for user interactions and why?

💡 Hint: Consider what users prioritize in real-time applications.

Challenge 2 Hard

Propose a new performance metric that incorporates aspects of power consumption and thermal dissipation for future designs. Explain how it would improve system evaluation.

💡 Hint: Think about how efficiency impacts both cost and ecological footprint.
