[ หˆpaษชpษ™laษชnษชล‹ ]

Noun
Context #1 | Noun

computer science

Pipelining is a technique used in computer architecture to increase the instruction throughput of a processor. It allows multiple instruction phases to be overlapped in execution, similar to an assembly line in manufacturing. This means that while one instruction is being executed, another can be decoded, and a third instruction can be fetched from memory. Pipelining enhances performance by reducing the time it takes to process subsequent instructions. It is particularly effective in RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) architectures.

Synonyms

instruction overlap, throughput enhancement.

Examples of usage

  • The new CPU design supports pipelining.
  • Pipelining improves the overall performance of a processor.
  • With pipelining, we can execute several instructions at once.
Context #2 | Noun

software development

In software development, pipelining refers to the practice of automating the process of transferring data between different stages of an application. This can include the integration of various tools and services where data flows from one stage to the next seamlessly. Pipelining can greatly enhance the speed of software release processes and improve the efficiency of continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) practices. It allows for real-time processing and reduces the manual effort in data handling.

Synonyms

automation process, data flow system.

Examples of usage

  • We use pipelining in our CI/CD pipeline.
  • Pipelining helps streamline the development process.
  • Effective pipelining can lead to faster deployments.

Etymology

The term 'pipelining' originates from the concept of 'pipes' used in engineering and manufacturing, where materials are transported through connected tubes or channels. This analogy was adopted in computer science to describe the movement of instructions through various stages of execution. The application of pipelining in computer architecture began in the 1960s as a way to optimize processor performance by allowing multiple instructions to be processed simultaneously. Over the years, with advancements in technology, the concept of pipelining has evolved and is now prevalent in various fields such as software development and data processing. Today, it reflects a broader principle of efficiency and optimization by enabling parallel processing to achieve better performance in computing systems.
