Making graphs reducible with Controlled Node Splitting

This line of research is more evolutionary than revolutionary, but because of its importance we can expect considerable resources will be expended to increase the degree of instruction-level parallelism from the current figure of about four instructions at a time to 3-4 times that number.

Strategic directions in computer architecture

To achieve high performance, contemporary computer systems rely on two forms of parallelism: instruction-level parallelism (ILP) and thread-level parallelism (TLP).
