What does "incompatible instructions" mean?
Hello all
I'm attending a course about computer architectures, and in the course material it is written that in the deprecated model of parallel machines used to launch instructions that are incompatible with the clock frequencies of modern microprocessors.
How can an instruction be compatible or incompatible with the clock frequency of a microprocessor? In my understanding, the instructions are conceived independently of the duration of the clock period. Can you please clarify this point?
Thanks in advance
