Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Analyze a given real-time system requirements document. Identify where virtual memory could be beneficial but also where it could introduce risks, suggesting solutions.

💡 Hint: Refer to examples from the discussed materials.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design a software architecture for a soft real-time application that processes video streams. What role should virtual memory play, and how can the design ensure performance guarantees?

💡 Hint: Consider TLB usage and inherent memory needs of video processing.
