T Answer The superscalar approach has now become the standard method for implementing high-performance microprocessors. (T/F) T Answer In a traditional scalar organization there is a single pipelined functional unit for integer operations and one for floating-point operations. (T/F) F Answer In the scalar organization there are multiple functional units, each of which is implemented as a pipeline and provides a degree of parallelism by virtue of its pipelined structure. (T/F) T Answe...
