By borrowing some of Seymour Cray's tricks, including vector processing and two-at-a-time instructions (see diagram).
An interpreter is software that examines a computer program one instruction at a time and calls on code to execute the operations required by that instruction.
These teachers showed nothing but chutzpah in demanding higher pay to cover 25 additional minutes of daily instruction at a time when 93 percent of their 11th graders were failing a state math test.
That is to say, the computer interprets the programmer's wishes one instruction at a time, rather than having first to "compile" or translate the whole program before it can run.
It's more power-efficient than an Intel Core i5, which is built around two to four quick, versatile cores that compute one instruction at a time.
For example, in 1974, the Raytheon RDS 500 was originally designed to track missile trajectories but had to be programmed one assembly instruction at a time, using bit switches on the front panel.
The computers that most of us work with today are serial processors, performing one instruction at a time, but the brain and some recently developed computers are parallel processors, capable of doing many operations at once.
In addition to instruction-level parallelism from pipelining, some processors can issue more than one instruction at a time.
When a digital organism replicates, it copies its genome, one instruction at a time, into empty memory.
In addition, to achieve the best performance, branch in the program and bank conflicts in shared memory within a warp should be kept to a minimum, where a warp is a group of 32 parallel threads that execute the same instruction at a time.
