TLDR
In this paper, a parallel processing system contains a decoder circuit for detecting instructions which can be performed simultaneously from simultaneously applied instructions, and each of a number of identical parallel functional units receives and performs an instruction from the decoder.Abstract:
The parallel processing system contains a decoder circuit for detecting instructions which can be performed simultaneously from simultaneously applied instructions. Each of a number of identical parallel functional units receives and performs an instruction from the decoder. Data are stored in a memory (6). A further functional unit, which does not receive instructions from the decoder, is only used to perform a control instruction when there is an access to the data memory. The functional units have an associated processing unit for performing arithmetic and logical operations on the received data. USE/ADVANTAGE - Faster processing speed.read more

Instruction issue logic for high-performance, interruptible, multiple functional unit, pipelined computers
TL;DR: In this paper, the problems of data dependency resolution and precise interrupt implementation in pipelined processors are combined and a design for a hardware mechanism that resolves dependencies dynamically and, at the same time, guarantees precise interrupts is presented.
