I've always had the same question in mind about instruction level parallelism and loops: How does a cpu parallelize loops? Do they execute multiple successive iterations at once? Do they execute subse...

In my understanding, CPU changes the operations order which are written on machine code for optimization and it is called out-of-order execution. In the term "memory order", it defines the o...

I am reading an introductory computer design book. The book explains the inner workings using MIPS, is very information dense and expects the reader to connect the dots. This is the c code: main () { ...

How many ALU operations can run in parallel on modern x86(_64) CPUs when each instruction has no dependency to others? It would obviously depend on a specific model, but then, where can I find such in...
