Pipelining and Vector Processing

The document discusses pipelining and vector processing, two techniques used to optimize computer performance. Pipelining executes multiple instructions simultaneously by dividing them into stages, while vector processing performs the same operation on multiple data elements at once. Examples provided include assembly lines demonstrating pipelining and digital image processing using vector techniques.

What is Pipelining?
Definition How it Works

Pipelining is a technique used to execute multiple The instructions are divided into smaller stages, or

Benefits Limitations

Pipelining can significantly increase instruction If the subtasks are not evenly balanced, the overall
throughput, resulting in faster and more efficient performance can decrease. Additionally,

What is Vector Processing?

Definition How it Works

Vector processing is a technique used to execute Vector processors use the SIMD (Single Instruction

using a single instruction. This is achieved by grouping the data elements into
vectors, or arrays, and performing the operation on
each element in parallel.
Pipelining vs Vector Processing
1 Pipelining

Executes multiple instructions at the same time, in a single processor. Increases instruction
throughput and reduces execution time for complex instructions. Can't be used for all types of
instructions and requires even balance of subtasks.

2 Vector Processing

Executes the same operation on multiple data elements at once, using a single instruction.
Widely used in scientific simulations, image and signal processing, and medical imaging.
Performs large amounts of floating-point calculations.
