What is the primary advantage of bit-level parallelism in computing? Increases the speed of floating-point operations Reduces the number of instructions needed for a computation Increases the size of data that can be processed at once Allows simultaneous execution of different tasks

Reduces the number of instructions needed for a computation

Pipeline parallelism is most effectively illustrated by which of the following examples? Simultaneously processing different data elements Executing tasks like fetching, decoding, and executing in stages Performing a single task on different processors Executing multiple instruction sets simultaneously

Executing tasks like fetching, decoding, and executing in stages

Which of the following best describes the relationship between task parallelism and data parallelism? Both rely on increasing processor speed Task parallelism focuses on data, while data parallelism focuses on tasks They are mutually exclusive and cannot be used together They can be combined to optimize performance for complex applications

They can be combined to optimize performance for complex applications

In pipeline parallelism, what is a potential drawback commonly known as a pipeline hazard? Data dependency issues between stages Excessive resource consumption Limited instruction execution speed Increased number of clock cycles

Data dependency issues between stages

What is a primary challenge in implementing instruction-level parallelism in modern processors? Ensuring data consistency across multiple processors Optimizing compiler design for instruction scheduling Balancing load among processors Minimizing thermal output from processors

Optimizing compiler design for instruction scheduling

Which of the following is a common misconception about data parallelism? It can only be applied to numerical data It requires identical operations on different data It is inherently less efficient than task parallelism It is suitable for massively parallel architectures
