WHAT DOES SUPERSCALAR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

superscalar

Superscalar

A superscalar CPU architecture implements a form of parallelism called instruction-level parallelism within a single processor. It therefore allows faster CPU throughput than would otherwise be possible at a given clock rate. A superscalar processor executes more than one instruction during a clock cycle by simultaneously dispatching multiple instructions to redundant functional units on the processor. Each functional unit is not a separate CPU core but an execution resource within a single CPU such as an arithmetic logic unit, a bit shifter, or a multiplier. In Flynn's taxonomy, a single-core superscalar processor is classified as an SISD processor, while a multi-core superscalar processor is classified as an MIMD processor. While a superscalar CPU is typically also pipelined, pipelining and superscalar architecture are considered different performance enhancement techniques. The superscalar technique is traditionally associated with several identifying characteristics...
