Question
It will be much easier for you to tell the difference between a scalar processor and a superscalar processor if you look at a picture. Processing superscalar data is noticeably harder than processing scalar data. There are two things that the superscalar system is having trouble with.

- How can we prevent a CPU from wasting time by processing too many instructions at once? Is the success of this strategy contingent on any particular variables? Provide an instance of one of the results they generate.arrow_forwardBoth the VLIW and the superscalar architecture provide significant challenges for compilers. Which kind of building is more difficult to design? Why?arrow_forwardThe distinction between a scalar processor and a superscalar processor might perhaps be better understood with the assistance of diagrams. Processing data at a superscalar level is a far more challenging endeavor than processing data at a scalar level. The superscalar processor is now being plagued by two different issues.arrow_forward
- The two terms "architecture" and "computer-based organization" refer to two quite distinct concepts in the realm of computers.arrow_forwardThe similarities and differences between an assembler, a compiler, and an interpreter might be investigated.arrow_forwardFrom the given suggested research topics on computer architecture, select 1 topic only and look for a related published research work/paper/journal/study. Create a short write up, answering the following: 1. What is the research work/paper/journal/study all about? Summarize by pointing out the main findings of the work 2. What is interesting about the research work/paper/journal/study? Why did you choose it? 3. What do you think would be the next concept/idea that can be derived from the paper research work/paper/journal/study?arrow_forward
- Is it possible to draw a diagram of a virtual machine's architecture?arrow_forwardTwo distinct schools of thought exist with regards to virtual machines. Draw some parallels between the two.arrow_forwardThen, what is the definition of an overlay? When it comes to supercomputers, why is the usage of overlays no longer necessary?arrow_forward
- Diagrams may help to clarify the difference between a scalar processor and a superscalar processor. Processing data at the superscalar level is a significantly more difficult task than processing data at the scalar level. The superscalar processor is currently facing two difficulties.arrow_forwardThen, what is the definition of an overlay? When it comes to supercomputers, why is the usage of overlays no longer necessary?arrow_forwardWHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS IF IT IS TRUE?A computer's CPU may be configured in three ways: as a general register, a single accumulator, or a stack.arrow_forward
