2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is Instruction-Level Parallelism?
Think about how processors manage their tasks simultaneously.
Define pipelining in the context of processors.
Consider a factory assembly line analogy.
What does Instruction-Level Parallelism (ILP) allow processors to do?
Look back at the definition of ILP.
True or False: Pipelining only allows one instruction to be processed at a time.
Consider the stages of a pipeline.
Explain how instruction dependencies can impact the benefits of ILP and provide an example.
Think of a relay race where one runner waits for another to finish.
Given a scenario with a series of dependent instructions, propose a strategy that could enhance ILP in that situation.
Consider how combining iterations might reduce waiting times.
