What is pipelining?
What is pipelining?
- Executing a process in a single segment for faster computation
- Decomposing a sequential process into suboperations executed concurrently (correct)
- Combining multiple processes into a single operation
- Isolating segments to prevent concurrent operation
What enables the overlapping of computation in pipelining?
What enables the overlapping of computation in pipelining?
