Trends in Pipelining

Trends of Increasing Pipeline Length

Trends of Decreasing Pipeline Length

The issue with increased pipeline length is the problem of incorrect branch predictions. The longer a pipeline is, the more stages of wasted processing have been wasted when a different branch is taken. Decreasing the pipeline length has resulted in lower clock frequencies, but equal or better IPC. A smaller pipeline suffers less of a loss for every bad prediction, and the overall performance is improved.

An Example of Pipeline changes in Cray Systems

Pipeline Specifications of Cray Systems
Year Name Pipeline Length Number of Pipelines
1976 Cray 1 3 12
2012 Cray XK7 12 for scalar , 17 for vector 500 cabinets * 24 blades * 4 cores * 3 pipelines per chip
