    Study Notes

    Pipelining Overview

    • The purpose of pipelining is to break down the instruction cycle into a series of stages, improving the performance and efficiency of the processor.

    Pipelining Stages

    • There are five stages in pipelining.

    Decode Stage

    • The Decode stage determines the type of instruction and retrieves the required operands.

    Instruction Retrieval

    • The Fetch stage is responsible for retrieving the instruction from memory.

    Memory Stage

    • The purpose of the Memory stage is to access the main memory to read or write data as required by the instruction.
