do *,/,+, and other basic c bit,arithmetic,and logical operators/expressions used in the program without any specific call to a parallel instruction stream function (i.e. sign * numer / denom) automatically use multiple ALU's and/or cores and inherently parallelize the operations if need be?

@nujicles Do you mean on the bitwise level? If so, I wouldn't think so. From what it looks like based on this, bit-level parallelism was more instrumental in the past when processors had lesser word sizes, and could require multiple instructions to perform a single operation.
