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

💡 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

💡 Hint: Consider the stages of a pipeline.
