PAPER 3

The following questions have been used for screening the candidates during the first interview. The

questions apply mostly to fresh college grads pursuing an engineering career at Intel.

1. Have you studied buses? What types?

2. 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 ?

3. How many bit combinations are there in a byte?

4. For a single computer processor computer system, what is the purpose of a processor cache and
describe its operation?

5. Explain the operation considering a two processor computer system with a cache for each

processor.

6. What are the main issues associated with multiprocessor caches and how might you solve them?

7. Explain the difference between write through and write back cache.

8. Are you familiar with the term MESI?

9. Are you familiar with the term snooping?

10. Describe a finite state machine that will detect three consecutive coin tosses (of one coin) that

results in heads.

11. In what cases do you need to double clock a signal before presenting it to a synchronous state

machine?

12. 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?

13. What are the total number of lines written by you in C/C++? What is the most

complicated/valuable program written in C/C++?
