What types of high speed CMOS circuits have you designed?
What products have you designed which have entered high volume production?
What are the main issues associated with multiprocessor caches and how might you solve them?
Do you know MESI?
Suppose For a single computer processor computer system, what is the purpose of a processor cache and describe its operation?
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?
What is the term snooping?
Explain How many bit combinations are there in a byte?
In what cases do you need to double clock a signal before presenting it to a synchronous state machine?
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?
