Computer Organization and Architecture - Instruction-Level Parallelism, Superscalar Processors, and Parallel Processing

The difference between parallel processing and pipelining:

Pipelining:
Pipelining is a technique that overlaps the execution of multiple instructions by dividing each instruction into stages and processing different stages of multiple instructions concurrently. It improves throughput by increasing instruction execution rate but does not reduce the execution time of a single instruction.

Parallel Processing:
Parallel processing involves using multiple processors or cores to execute different parts of a program simultaneously. It can reduce the overall execution time of a program by dividing the workload among multiple processing units, enabling true
