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.
