Instruction-Level Parallelism
Last modified: Friday, August 03, 2007
Abbreviated as ILP, Instruction-Level Parallelism is a measurement of the number of operations that can be performed simultaneously in a computer program. Microprocessors exploit ILP by executing multiple instructions from a single program in a single cycle.
ExtremeTech: Exploiting ILP Through Pipelining Essentially, we're processing five instructions in parallel, referred to as "Instruction-Level Parallelism (ILP)". If it took five clock cycles to completely execute an instruction before we pipelined the machine, we're now able to execute a new instruction every single clock. We made our computer five times faster, just with this "simple" change.
The Journal of Instruction-Level Parallelism The Journal of Instruction-Level Parallelism (JILP) is an electronic archival journal dedicated to soliciting, thoroughly reviewing, and publishing state-of-the-art papers in all areas of instruction-level parallelism (ILP.)
