Tossup

One of these things specified by the AVX-512 extension is a bit-permuting Galois field affine transformation called GF2P8AFFINEQB (“G-F-two-P-eight-affine-Q-B”). Modern x86 processors use AES-NI to implement encryption operations as these things. Whether there are single or multiple streams for these things and data name classes of parallel architecture paradigms. A five-stage system for interpreting these things begins with “fetch” and “decode” and may have “nop” (“no-op”) inserted when hazards occur. The x86 register “rip” (“R-I-P”) corresponds to the program (-5[1])counter and specifies the address of one of these things, which may have its bytesize specified with the suffix W, L, or Q, such as in movq (“move-Q”). Each line of an assembly file contains one of these things. For 10 points, (10[1])name these things that are executed when a program runs. ■END■ (10[1]0[1])

ANSWER: CPU instructions [accept x86 instructions; accept instruction set architectures] (The five-stage system is the RISC pipeline.)
