1
Q
What is Pipelining?
A
Completing more instructions in a clock cycle by using every register constantly.
2
Q
What is CISC?
A
Longer instructions are used to complete tasks in as few lines of code as possible.
Instructions take a variable number of clock cycles.
3
Q
What is GPU?
A
A processor with a high number of cores. Each core completes a relatively simple tasks quickly.
4
Q
What is RISC?
A
Uses the simple instructions , each taking a single clock cycle.
5
Q
What is Parallel Processing?
A
Complete several tasks at once.
6
Q
