BCA Semester 2 – Microprocessor and Comp. Architecture – Unit 6: Pipeline, Vector Processing and Multiprocessors (6Hrs)

1. Definition of Instruction Pipeline Instruction pipeline is a technique used in modern processors in which multiple instruction stages are processed simultaneously. Each instruction is broken into

What is Pipeline? Pipeline is a technique used in CPUs to overlap the execution of multiple instructions. Instead of completing one instruction at a time, different stages of multiple instructions a

Arithmetic Pipeline Definition: An arithmetic pipeline is a pipeline designed to perform arithmetic operations by dividing them into sequential stages. Each stage performs a part of the arithmetic

1. Definition of Parallel Processing Parallel Processing is the technique of executing multiple instructions or tasks simultaneously using multiple processors or computational units. Key Points: - I

1. Definition of Pipelining Hazards Pipelining Hazards are problems that occur in instruction pipelines which prevent the next instruction from executing in its designated clock cycle. - Hazards cau

1. Pipeline Conflict (Hazard) Definition: A pipeline conflict or hazard occurs when the next instruction cannot execute in the following clock cycle due to a problem in the pipeline. Causes: - R

1. Four-Segment Instruction Pipeline Definition: - Instruction pipelining is a technique where multiple instructions are overlapped in execution. - A four-segment pipeline divides instruction exec
