Question 1

What is Instruction-Level Parallelism?

  • Execution of instructions sequentially
  • Parallel execution of independent instructions
  • Execution with higher clock speeds

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how processors can handle tasks concurrently.

Question 2

True or False: ILP improves throughput without affecting latency.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the relationship between completing multiple tasks and the time for individual tasks.
