Two rounds of telephonic technical interviews were conducted.

The first round featured many technical and logic-related questions.

The second round was a follow-up and concentrated more on projects from my resume.

Both interviews lasted an hour.

First Round:

• AND and OR gates using 2:1 Mux
• Single line logic to check if a number is a power of 2
• Working of an in-order pipeline
• Inputs to the program counter in an in-order pipeline
• Working of a branch predictor and operations on it
• Converting an in-order pipeline to an out-of-order pipeline
• Register renaming and examples of memory disambiguation
• Recursive function to find the factorial of a number

Second Round:

• Project implementation details from resume
• Function to perform binary search, first using iterations and then using recursion - also, how to terminate the recursion if the key is not found
