PIPELINING Pipelining is the process of accumulating instruction from the processor through a pipeline. In computers, a pipeline is the continuous and somewhat overlapped movement of instruction to the processor or in the arithmetic steps taken by the processor to perform an instruction. Pipelining is the use of a pipeline. Without a pipeline, a computer processor gets the first instruction from memory, performs the operation it calls for, and then goes to get the next instruction from memory, and so forth. While fetching (getting) the instruction, the arithmetic part of the processor is idle. It must wait until it gets the next instruction. With pipelining, the computer architecture allows the next instructions to be fetched while the processor is performing ar...
ARM PROCESSOR An ARM processor is one of a family of CPU's based on the RISC (reduced instruction set computer) architecture developed by Advanced RISC Machines ( ARM ). ARM makes 32-bit and 64-bit RISC multi-core processors . RISC processors are designed to perform a smaller number of types of computer instructions so that they can operate at a higher speed, performing more millions of instructions per second ( MIPS ). By stripping out unneeded instructions and optimizing pathways, RISC processors provide outstanding performance at a fraction of the power demand of CISC (complex instruction set computing) devices. ARM processors are extensively used in consumer electronic devices such as smartphones , tablets , multimedia players and other mobile devices, such as wearables . Because of their reduced instruction set , they require fewer transistor...
