the time being at least, instruction-level parallel pro-cessing has established itself as the only viable approach for achieving higher performance without major changes to software. However, computers have thus far achieved this goal at the expense of tremendous hardware complexity— a complexity that has grown so large as to challenge
2 Sep 1991. Vol 253, Issue 5025. pp. 1233 - 1241. DOI: 10.1126/science.253.5025.1233. Abstract. The performance of microprocessors has increased steadily over the past 20 years at a rate of about 50% per year. This is the cumulative result of architectural improvements as well as increases in circuit speed.

In addition to providing a higher processing capability to deal with the requirements of large data sets, parallel processing has the potential of easing the “von Neumann bottleneck” (Markgraf 2007),

In addition, it can reduce penal-ties due to miss hits in cache memory accesses and branch prediction errors. However, on this architecture, when only a single stream instruction is executed,

The second is the execution of multiple, relatively independent pro-cesses that may originate from one or more users, which is a form of request-level parallelism, although at a much smaller scale than what we explore in the next chapter.
