Question 1

What does Instruction-Level Parallelism (ILP) allow processors to do?

  • Execute instructions one at a time
  • Execute multiple instructions simultaneously
  • Only process data
  • None of the above

πŸ’‘ Hint: Look back at the definition of ILP.

Question 2

True or False: Pipelining only allows one instruction to be processed at a time.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the stages of a pipeline.

Question 1

Explain how instruction dependencies can impact the benefits of ILP and provide an example.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think of a relay race where one runner waits for another to finish.

Question 2

Given a scenario with a series of dependent instructions, propose a strategy that could enhance ILP in that situation.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how combining iterations might reduce waiting times.
