1. From one instruction to several instructions per cycle
The acceleration of processors has always been the main motivation of designers. Pipelined scalar processors aimed to achieve an execution rate of one instruction per clock cycle (IPC = 1), using the techniques described in the article
[H 1 004]
. To execute several instructions of a sequential program per clock cycle (IPC > 1), two approaches are possible: the VLIW approach
