Define Instruction-Level Parallelism (ILP).
Think about how multiple instructions are executed simultaneously.
What does throughput refer to?
Consider this as a measure of how fast instructions are processed.
What is Instruction-Level Parallelism?
Think about how processors can handle tasks concurrently.
True or False: ILP improves throughput without affecting latency.
Consider the relationship between completing multiple tasks and the time for individual tasks.
Analyze a scenario where a processor employs a superscalar architecture with 4 pipelines. How would it execute a sequence of 8 instructions?
Consider how instruction dependency might affect this scenario.
A program has a significant number of RAW hazards due to its instructions. Discuss methods to reduce their impact.
Focus on how you can adjust the execution order for better performance.
