Techopedia Explains Pipeline
A pipeline includes processor tasks and instructions in different stages. The computer processor works on each task in the pipeline. It works differently from the FIFO (first in-first out) and LIFO (last in-first out) computing architecture, but allocates some processing time to each task in the pipeline. The pipeline enables the processing of each task in parallel rather than waiting for a task to finish and then moving onto another.
