The word pipeline entered the language in the latter half of the nineteenth century, and by the 1920s the term was used also for a channel of supplies or information. The current cliché came into use about thirty years later. “All these reforms will take time . . . there are measures in the pipeline already,” editorialized the London Observer in 1964.See also: pipelinepipeline
pipeline a long pipe, esp underground, used to transport oil, natural gas, etc., over long distances pipeline[′pīp‚līn] (engineering) A line of pipe connected to valves and other control devices, for conducting fluids, gases, or finely divided solids. Pipeline A line of piping and the associated pumps, valves, and equipment necessary for the transportation of a fluid. Major uses of pipelines are for the transportation of petroleum, water (including sewage), chemicals, foodstuffs, pulverized coal, and gases such as natural gas, steam, and compressed air. Pipelines must be leakproof and must permit the application of whatever pressure is required to force conveyed substances through the lines. Pipe is made of a variety of materials and in diameters from a fraction of an inch up to 30 ft (9 m). Principal materials are steel, wrought and cast iron, concrete, clay products, aluminum, copper, brass, cement and asbestos (called cement-asbestos), plastics, and wood. Pipe is described as pressure and nonpressure pipe. In many pressure lines, such as long oil and gas lines, pumps force substances through the pipelines at required velocities. Pressure may be developed also by gravity head, as for example in city water mains fed from elevated tanks or reservoirs. Nonpressure pipe is used for gravity flow where the gradient is nominal and without major irregularities, as in sewer lines, culverts, and certain types of irrigation distribution systems. Design of pipelines considers such factors as required capacity, internal and external pressures, water- or airtightness, expansion characteristics of the pipe material, chemical activity of the liquid or gas being conveyed, and corrosion. pipeline (architecture)A sequence of functional units ("stages")which performs a task in several steps, like an assembly linein a factory. Each functional unit takes inputs and producesoutputs which are stored in its output buffer. One stage'soutput buffer is the next stage's input buffer. Thisarrangement allows all the stages to work in parallel thusgiving greater throughput than if each input had to passthrough the whole pipeline before the next input could enter.
The costs are greater latency and complexity due to the needto synchronise the stages in some way so that different inputsdo not interfere. The pipeline will only work at fullefficiency if it can be filled and emptied at the same ratethat it can process.
Pipelines may be synchronous or asynchronous. A synchronouspipeline has a master clock and each stage must complete itswork within one cycle. The minimum clock period is thusdetermined by the slowest stage. An asynchronous pipelinerequires handshaking between stages so that a new output isnot written to the interstage buffer before the previous onehas been used.
Many CPUs are arranged as one or more pipelines, withdifferent stages performing tasks such as fetch instruction,decode instruction, fetch arguments, arithmetic operations,store results. For maximum performance, these rely on acontinuous stream of instructions fetched from sequentiallocations in memory. Pipelining is often combined withinstruction prefetch in an attempt to keep the pipelinebusy.
When a branch is taken, the contents of early stages willcontain instructions from locations after the branch whichshould not be executed. The pipeline then has to be flushedand reloaded. This is known as a pipeline break.pipelineA sequential channel in which data, instructions or signals are moved from one point to another. See pipeline processing and graphics pipeline.pipeline A term for art for 'under development', as in the products that a pharmaceutical company has under development—'in the pipeline'—that it hopes to bring to market within a foreseeable future.pipeline (pīp′līn″) A colloquial term for the active research and development by a biotechnology or pharmaceutical firm of new products, esp. of new drugs.LegalSeePipepipeline
PipelineThe underwriting process that must be completed with the SEC before a security can be offering for sale to the public.Pipeline1. Informal; the process by which a company or underwriter conducts all due diligence, files all necessary paperwork, and generally makes preparation for a new issue. The pipeline especially refers to abiding by regulations issued by the SEC.
2. More broadly, any activity or project that is in the preparatory stages.pipeline The process through which security issues pass before their distribution to the public. If securities are being readied for distribution, they are said to be in the pipeline.pipeline(1) A system for carrying fluids or gases. (2) A popular expression for things that are in process.
