That means it’s possible to execute those instructions in parallel. This is easier said than done: Issues include: Building compilers to analyze the code, Building hardware to be even smarter than that code.

Instruction Level Parallelism: Concepts and Challenges Overcoming Data Hazards with Dynamic Scheduling Dynamic Scheduling: Examples & The Algorithm Reducing Branch Penalties with Dynamic Hardware Prediction High Performance Instruction Delivery Taking Advantage of More ILP with Multiple Issue Hardware-based Speculation Studies of The Limitations of ILP The Pentium 4 Chap. 3 -ILP 1 Terminology Instruction Level Parallelism Basic Block - That set of instructions between entry points and between branches. A basic block has only one entry and one exit. Typically this is about 6 instructions long. Loop Level Parallelism - that parallelism that exists within a loop. Such parallelism can cross loop iterations. Loop Unrolling - Either the compiler or the hardware is able to exploit the parallelism inherent in the loop. Chap. 3 -ILP 1 Basic Block (BB) ILP is quite small BB: a straight-line code sequence with no branches in except to
