Detailed explanation-1: -Pipelining is the process of accumulating instruction from the processor through a pipeline. It allows storing and executing instructions in an orderly process. It is also known as pipeline processing. Pipelining is a technique where multiple instructions are overlapped during execution.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pipelining is a technique for breaking down a sequential process into various sub-operations and executing each sub-operation in its own dedicated segment that runs in parallel with all other segments.
Detailed explanation-3: -The throughput of a pipeline is the rate at which tokens flow through it, and is limited by two constraints. First, if a pipeline is run with N tokens, then obviously there cannot be more than N operations running in parallel. Selecting the right value of N may involve some experimentation.
