3. Pipelining

Pipelining is a technique that enhances processor performance by overlapping instruction execution across multiple stages, leading to increased throughput. Various types of pipelining, including instruction and data pipelining, help manage the flow of instructions within the CPU. Challenges such as pipeline hazards and stalls are addressed through techniques like forwarding and branch prediction. Advanced pipelining methods continue to evolve, allowing for improvements in efficiency and performance metrics like throughput, latency, and speedup.
