Abstract
In one-way microprocessor, the program code is executed at the maximum (ideal) rate of one instruction per cycle. In practice, due to the occurrence of branch instruction, this rate is less than 1. Superscalar architecture, when applied to a 32-bit RISC microprocessor, enables the handling of two instructions in a single machine cycle. To further increase the processing speed, the out-of-order execution is also applied to process an instruction that its operands are ready. As a result, the microprocessor which can complete two instructions per cycle is obtained.
