The analysis of performance and the knowledge of a specific
architecture are skills specific to this subject, which may not
appear when classifying questions in other areas. The ‘Knowledge
of specific architecture’ criterion caused some discussion.
Some questions ask the students to code in assembler and,
therefore, knowledge of a specific architecture is needed to
answer these questions. However, if there is no requirement for
a specific assembly language, the question could be answered
based on knowledge of any architecture, and the question
could thus be used in other contexts. The decision was taken
to choose this criterion only in cases where the question is not
transferable.
