| Have you studied pipelining? List the 5 stages of a 5 stage
pipeline. Assuming 1 clock per stage, what is the latency
of an instruction in a 5 stage machine? What is the
throughput of this machine ? | Intel | 2 |
| You have a driver that drives a long signal & connects to an
input device. At the input device there is either overshoot,
undershoot or signal threshold violations, what can be done
to correct this problem? | Intel | 3 |
| Suppose you have a combinational circuit between two
registers driven by a clock. What will you do if the delay
of the combinational circuit is greater than your clock
signal? (You can't resize the combinational circuit
transistors)
