Pipelining
Pipelining is a way of improving the efficiency of a CPU. Tasks are carried out in parallel to each other, making use of processes efficiently. Production lines for manufacturing carry out a kind of pipelining process. Here is a video illustration of pipelining - making something on a production line:
The links below take you to more detailed pages on this topic: MIPS was originally an acronym for: Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipeline Stages. The improved efficiency (and therefore speed) of the processor is in its flexibility in the way the pipeline stages are tackled.
