Superscalar computer architecture is characterized by a:

A.
Computer using instructions that are simpler and require less clock cycles to execute.

B.
Computer using instructions that perform many operations per instruction.

C.
Processor that executes one instruction at a time.

D.
Processor that enables concurrent execution of multiple instructions in the same pipeline stage.

Explanation:
* Answer “Computer using instructions that perform many operations per instruction” is the
definition of a complex instruction set computer.
* Answer “Computer using instructions that are simpler and require less clock cycles to execute” is
the definition of a reduced instruction set computer.
* Answer “Processor that executes one instruction at a time” is the definition of a scalar processor.
