Multiple core and Parallel processing systems

How can multiple core and parallel processing systems improve the performance of the FDE cycle?

• By reducing the clock speed of the CPU.

• By increasing the size of the instruction cache.

• By enabling multiple instructions to be processed simultaneously.

• By enhancing data storage capacity.

What is the primary benefit of using parallel processing in the FDE cycle of a CPU?

• Decreased processing speed.

• Improved data security.

• Reduced power consumption.

• Increased instruction execution speed.

How does multiple core processing contribute to the FDE cycle's performance?

• By simplifying instruction sets.

• By allowing multiple CPUs to fetch instructions.

• By executing multiple instructions in parallel.

• By decreasing the need for program counter management.

In the context of the FDE cycle, what does the term "performance" primarily refer to?

• The efficiency of the CPU's cooling system.

• The speed at which instructions are fetched, decoded, and executed.

• The size of the RAM.

• The number of CPU cores.

What effect does parallel processing have on the time required for instruction execution in the FDE cycle?

• It has no impact on the time.

• It significantly reduces the time.

• It significantly increases the time.

• It impacts data security, not time.

Why is reducing the time required for instruction execution important in the FDE cycle?
