Explain Routing Potential Problems in Superscalar Systems and comment on Figures (a), (b), and (c) using an appropriate example.

Explain how the maximum-flow problem for a network with several sources and sinks can be transformed into the same problem for a network with a single source and a single sink.

In your description of buses and regulators, make sure to provide information about the different kinds, functions, and prerequisites for each.

Discuss the challenges and solutions associated with branch prediction in pipelining.

True/False: There exists a mapping reduction from ATM to ETM.

A car manufacturer proposed to implement a simple DCS along a 50 m-long engine production line. The proposed system consists of a 16-bit PLC system, three sensors, and four mechanical actuators. The system components are interconnected using a copper wire network solution. The transmission speed of the network is 40 kbits/s. Two types of network configuration are to be considered, a CAN-based network, and a centralized controller network. A) Draw simple diagrams to show the difference between these two network configurations. B) In CAN, explain why logic '1' is referred to as Recessive logic, and logic '0' is referred to as Dominant logic.

Compute the capacity and input distribution attaining it for the discrete memoryless channel X → Y with X = y = {0, 1, 2, 3} given by Y = X + Z mod 4, where Z takes on values from Z = {0, 1, 2, 3} with z(0) = 1/2, z(1) = 0, and z(2) = z(3) = 1/4.
