It explores the limits of instruction-level parallelism. If you had a processor that could dispatch an unlimited number of independent instructions simultaneously, how much of an improvement in common algorithms would you get?
- static_noise 10y agoThey get an average parallelism of 4-10 with some standard algorithms assuming unlimited resources. Where are we now with modern intel processors on those algorithms? 2-3?
