Throughput vs Superscalar - What's the difference?
throughput | superscalar |
(operations) The rate of production; the rate at which something can be processed.
* The factory managed a throughput of 120 units per hour.
* 1927 , Harald Nielsen, "Distillation of Carbonaceous Materials" [http://www.google.com/patents?id=uPpbAAAAEBAJ&dq=throughput&jtp=1], US Patent 1886262, line 70:
(networking) The rate at which data is transferred through a system.
(computing, of a CPU architecture) Implementing instruction-level parallelism within a single processor, thereby allowing faster throughput than would otherwise be possible at the same clock speed.
As nouns the difference between throughput and superscalar
is that throughput is (operations) the rate of production; the rate at which something can be processed while superscalar is a superscalar.As an adjective superscalar is
(computing|of a cpu architecture) implementing instruction-level parallelism within a single processor, thereby allowing faster throughput than would otherwise be possible at the same clock speed.throughput
