Here are some problems related to hardware on the material covered so far. Easier branch control logic: 2015 Homework 2 Problem 3 (control logic for IF-stage PC mux), 2016 Homework 2 Problems 1,2 (Taken signal for a bltz, and bypass hardware and control). Easier non-branch hardware: 2012 Midterm Problem 1 (PED and logic to generate stalls due to missing bypasses). Slightly more difficult branch problems: 2019 Midterm Problem 3 (avoid stall for slt/bne dependences), 2018 Homework 3 Problem 2 (Modify hardware (incl PC mux logic) so that bgt is resolved in EX), 2017 Homework 3 Problem 1 (implement bgezall (annulled and link)), 2015 Homework 2 Problem 2 (new MIPS bfeq. Reg fields are two bits each.). Slightly more difficult non-branch problems. 2020 Homework 2 (an integer multiplier with quicker results for special cases), 2017 Homework 5 Problem 3 (bypass paths that can only accommodate 12 bits). |

Linked the Homework 3 solution to the Homework & Exams page. Remember that Homework 3 was assigned in part as preparation for the midterm exam, and so it is very important to read and understand the solution! |
