Instruction-Level Parallelism

Questions: 1. Define instruction level parallelism. 2. State primary methods for increasing the potential amount of ILP.

Instruction‒Level Parallelism

When instructions in a sequence are independent and can be executed in parallel by overlapping, there is an Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP). Pipelining exploits the Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP).

• There are two primary methods for increasing the potential amount of instruction‒level parallelism.

■ By increasing the depth of the pipeline to overlap more instructions.

■ By replicating the internal components of the computer so that it can launch multiple instructions in every pipeline stage. Such a scheme whereby multiple instructions are launched in one clock cycle is known as multiple issue.

• Launching multiple instructions per stage allows the instruction execution rate to exceed the clock rate and the CPI to be less than 1.
