Question 1

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

  • A) Execute multiple programs at once
  • B) Execute multiple instructions from the same instruction stream
  • C) Execute only sequential instructions

💡 Hint: Consider how processors optimize instruction execution.

Question 2

True or False: Multithreading is a technique that allows for concurrent execution of multiple threads.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about running different applications at once on your device.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a multicore processor with 4 cores, analyze how TLP could significantly boost performance when running multiple parallel tasks compared to a single-core processor running sequentially.

💡 Hint: Think about the time saved when tasks run at the same time rather than waiting their turn.

Question 2

Discuss the impact of data dependencies on achieving effective Instruction-Level Parallelism in a scenario where a sequence of arithmetic operations relies on previous results.

💡 Hint: Analyze how the order of operations influences the execution capability.
