3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does Cycle Stealing Mode allow the CPU to do during a DMA operation?
Think about how the CPU's functioning can overlap with DMA.
True or False: In Cycle Stealing, the DMA transfers data in large chunks without interruption.
Consider how DMA operates and handles bus control.
What is the primary advantage of Cycle Stealing Mode?
Think about how operations can run concurrently.
True or False: In Cycle Stealing, the CPU must wait until DMA transfers are complete before executing further instructions.
Consider what happens when both systems share the bus.
Imagine a real-time audio processing system using DMA. Discuss how Cycle Stealing could optimize performance compared to Burst Mode.
Consider how real-time systems prioritize processing without lags.
You are designing a system requiring high-speed data transfer. Give pros and cons of implementing Cycle Stealing versus Burst Mode.
Evaluate requirements for speed vs. task engagement within the system.
