The Tech Terms is to make computer terminology easy to understand. While definitions of computer terms can be helpful, explanations with examples are even better. Therefore, most definitions include real-life examples of how the term is used.
Some terms in the Tech Terms Computer Dictionary are commonly used and have definitions that are easy to understand.
Others are less common and their definitions include more advanced terminology.
PIPELINE
Computer processors can handle millions of instructions each second. Once one instruction is processed, the next one in line is processed, and so on. A pipeline allows multiple instructions to be processed at the same time. While one stage of an instruction is being processed, other instructions may be undergoing processing at a different stage. Without a pipeline, each instruction would have to wait for the previous one to finish before it could even be accessed.
To understand the benefit of a pipeline, imagine that a car manufacturing plant had to wait for each car to be fully completed before starting on the next one. That would be horribly inefficient, right? It makes much more sense to work on many cars at once, completing them one stage at a time. This is what a pipeline in a computer allows. Pipelining, as it is called, often keeps around six instructions at once in the processor at different stages of processing. Pipelines can be used for the CPU as well as for accessing memory (DRAM).
This is a fun cache great for beginners but fun for all
Please make sure to place the cache back into the exact same spot
may be a little easy to find but I tried hard to make it fun to find.
As always, PLEASE EXERCISE STEALTH.
Please bring your own pen.
CONGRATULATION FOR FTF TO Wall-e
