Pipeline arithmetic units are generally discovered in very large-speed computers. It can execute floating-point operations, multiplication of fixed-point numbers, and the same computations encountered in mathematical problems.The inputs to the floating-point adder pipeline are two normalized floating-point binary numbers represented as −X = A x 2aY = B x 2bWhere ...

An instruction pipeline reads consecutive instructions from memory while in the other segments the previous instructions are being implemented. Pipeline processing appears both in the data flow and in the instruction stream. This leads to the overlapping of the fetch and executes the instruction and hence simultaneous operations are performed.There ... Read More

The binary division is similar to division in decimals. The process involves successive comparison, shifting, and subtraction. The division of binary numbers is easy compared to the division of decimal numbers because the quotient is either 0 or 1. It is also not necessary to check the number of times ... Read More

Parallel processing systems are created to speed up the implementation of programs by breaking the program into several fragments and processing these fragments together. Such systems are multiprocessor systems also referred to as tightly coupled systems. Parallel processors can be divided into the following four groups based on the number ... Read More

RISC stands for Reduced Instruction Set Computers. It was introduced to execute as fast as one instruction per clock cycle. This RISC pipeline helps to simplify the computer architecture’s design.It relates to what is known as the Semantic Gap, that is, the difference between the operations provided in the high-level ...

Pipelining is a technique of breaking a sequential process into small fragments or sub-operations. The execution of each of these sub-procedure takes place in a certain dedicated segment that functions together with all other segments. There are three types of Pipelining conflicts that are as follows −Resource ConflictsThese conflicts arise ... Read More

Pipelining defines a technique of decomposing a sequential process into sub-operations, with each sub-operation being implemented in an enthusiastic segment that works together with all other segments. There are the following techniques that can be followed to avoid pipelining conflicts −Hardware Interlocks − Hardware interlocks are electronic circuits that detect ... Read More

Pipelining is a technique of breaking a sequential process into small fragments or sub-operations. The execution of each of these sub-procedure takes place in a certain dedicated segment that functions together with all other segments. The pipeline has a collection of processing segments which helps the flow of binary information.The ... Read More

Parallel processing is an approach that can denote a huge class of methods that can give simultaneous data-processing functions to improve the computational speed of a computer system.Rather than processing each instruction sequentially as in a traditional computer, a parallel processing system can implement concurrent data processing to manage quicker ...

The hypercube interconnection is also defined as a binary n-cube multiprocessor. The hypercube is treated to be a loosely coupled system. This system is composed of N = 2n processors that are linked in an n-dimensional binary cube. Each processor denotes a node of the cube.Each processor includes a direct ... Read More
