What is pipelining techniques ?
Thanks
Thanks
After I read some of my articles again, I think I still don't understand about pipelining much, it is still very vague to me, I am sorry I made a wrong question. Therefore, instead of saying techniques, would Goalie_ca tell me what word can i use to make it right ? And would you also give me some explanations on some of pipeling ----s you will mention ?Goalie_Ca said:The easiest analogy is to talk about an assembly line.
At the end of every clock cycle one simple task has been performed. 1 will also have been completed. Without pipelining it would take many clock cycles to complete one task.
What do you mean by techniques? It depends dramatically on what you are doing. Adding two floating point numbers will be broken down quite differently than let's say an add instruction for an integer.
Pipelining is a computer processing technique that allows multiple instructions to be executed simultaneously by dividing them into smaller, sequential steps. This improves the overall efficiency and speed of the processing.
Pipelining works by breaking down a larger task into smaller, sequential steps. Each step is then executed simultaneously by different parts of the processor, allowing multiple instructions to be processed at the same time.
Pipelining improves the speed and efficiency of processing by allowing multiple instructions to be executed simultaneously. It also reduces the amount of idle time in the processor, as each step can be executed while the previous step is still being completed.
The stages of pipelining typically include instruction fetch, instruction decode, execution, memory access, and write back. These stages may vary depending on the specific architecture and design of the processor.
Although pipelining can improve processing efficiency, it can also introduce potential issues such as pipeline stalls and data hazards. These issues can arise if an instruction is dependent on the result of a previous instruction that has not yet been completed.
