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.
