This unique combination of architectural features, which Intel describes as Dynamic Execution, enabled the first Pentium Pro processor silicon to exceed the original performance goal. Building from an already high platform The Pentium processor set an impressive performance standard with its pipelined, superscalar microarchitecture. The Pentium processor's pipelined implementation uses five stages to extract high throughput from the silicon - the Pentium Pro processor moves to a decoupled, 12-stage, superpipelined implementation, trading less work per pipestage for more stages. The Pentium Pro processor reduced its pipestage time by 33 percent ... implemented as three independent engines coupled with an instruction pool as shown in Figure 1 below. What is the fundamental problem to solve? Before starting our tour on how the Pentium Pro processor achieves its high performance it is important to note why this three- independent-engine approach was taken. A fundamental fact of today's microprocessor implementations must be appreciated: most CPU cores are not fully utilized. Consider the ...

Being a vast volume of water, the sea maintains a relatively uniform temperature. However, rock pools are comparatively tiny volumes of water. Hence, when exposed, temperature is affected by the surrounding environment.

But, what about high temperatures at times of exposure? There are two main problems associated with exposure – resisting desiccation and maintaining photosynthesis. Fucus serratus and Enteromorpha are both able to survive substantial water loss (60% – 90%), Nybakken, 1988). ...
