Introduction (cont.)  Many of the approaches and techniques related to the design of pipelined processors are fundamental to the design of superscalar processors Such as pipeline interlock mechanisms for hazard detection and resolution  The current trend is toward very deep pipelines Pipeline depth has increased from less than 10 to more than 20 Deep pipelines are necessary for achieving very high clock frequencies This has been a very effective means of gaining greater processor performance This trend will continue

Pipelining has been effectively applied to CISC processors as well. The Intel i486 was the first pipelined implementation of the IA32 architecture. Pipelined versions of Digital s VAX and Motorola s M68K architectures were quite successful. Pipelining is a technique that is now widely employed in the design of instruction set processors.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
