Question 9Asked in UGC NET Computer Science, June 2016 (Paper II & III, Selected Questions)

Pipelining improves performance by:

  1. Adecreasing instruction latency
  2. Beliminating data hazards
  3. Cexploiting instruction level parallelism
  4. Ddecreasing the cache miss rate
Show answerHide answer

Correct answer: (C) exploiting instruction level parallelism

Explanation

Instruction pipelining is a technique that implements a form of parallelism called instruction level parallelism with a single processor. It therefore allows faster CPU throughput than would otherwise be possible at a given clock rate.
