 Central processing unit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In setting the clock period to a value well above the worst-case propagation delay, it is possible to design the entire CPU and the way it moves data around the "edges" of the rising and falling clock signal.
Speculative execution often provides modest performance increases by executing portions of code that may or may not be needed after a conditional operation completes.
In the case where a portion of the CPU is superscalar and part is not, the part which is not suffers a performance penalty due to scheduling stalls.

 Simulation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
For example in electrical engineering, delay lines may be used to simulate propagation delay and phase shift caused by an actual transmission line.
Similarly, dummy loads may be used to simulate impedance without simulating propagation, and is used in situations where propagation is unwanted.
A simulator may imitate only a few of the operations and functions of the unit it simulates.
