superscalar (architecture)A superscalar architecture is a uniprocessorthat can execute two or more scalar operations in parallel.Some definitions include superpipelined and VLIWarchitectures; others do not. Superscalar architectures(apart from superpipelined architectures) require multiplefunctional units, which may or may not be identical to eachother. In some superscalar processors the order ofinstruction execution is determined statically (purely atcompile-time), in others it is determined dynamically (partlyat run time).superscalarA CPU architecture that allows more than one instruction to be executed in one clock cycle. With multi-core CPUs today, computers are commonly executing multiple instructions per cycle, and GPUs perform hundreds of millions of calculations per second. However, when the term was coined, it referred to a single-core CPU. See pipeline processing. |
