Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Consider a superscalar architecture that can execute 4 instructions at a time. If it has a steady inflow of 8 instructions, how would you structure them for optimal processing?
💡 Hint: Think about how many instructions can be processed concurrently.
Question 2
Discuss how superscalar architectures address the challenges posed by instruction dependencies during execution. What mechanisms can be implemented?
💡 Hint: Reflect on the interplay between freedom in execution and maintaining correctness.
