By only comparing Q-Tables against the entirety of the Tomasulo algorithm,
this is equivalent to narrowly focussing on the Reorder Buffer of
Tomasulo, excluding all else, and concluding that a design that uses a
-ROB is incapable of out-of-order execution.
+ROB is incapable of useful high-performance out-of-order execution.
This article helps readers to understand that Q-Tables != Scoreboards,
by describing a series of functionally-equivalent transformations that,
