Pipelinehastighed

Pipelinehastighed refers to the rate at which data or instructions flow through a processing pipeline. In computer architecture, a pipeline is a technique used to execute instructions in an overlapping fashion, similar to an assembly line. Each stage of the pipeline performs a specific task, and multiple instructions are in different stages of execution simultaneously. The pipelinehastighed is determined by the slowest stage, known as the bottleneck. A higher pipelinehastighed means more instructions can be completed per unit of time, leading to improved performance.

Factors influencing pipelinehastighed include the number of pipeline stages, the complexity of operations performed in each stage, and the efficiency of data transfer between stages. Techniques like pipelining are fundamental in modern CPUs to achieve high throughput. However, complexities like data dependencies, control dependencies, and structural hazards can stall the pipeline, reducing its effective hastighed. Optimizations are often employed to mitigate these issues and maximize the instruction throughput. The goal is to keep all pipeline stages as busy as possible.
