The elements of a pipeline are often executed in parallel or in timesliced fashion. It introduces a design methodology in an engineering quantitative approach that provides the reader with the necessary tools to compare and analyze various design alternatives. Pipelining is the process of accumulating and executing computer instructions and tasks from the processor via a logical pipeline. As we know that, cpi for a pipeline system is 1, but due to dependency problem and hazards, some stalls are created in the system. The first instruction needs cycles to complete then each of the rest takes max3,4,2,4 4 cycles to. The opposed trend to risc is that of complex instruction set computers cisc.
