pipeline

Many of these instructions are branches – and inherently unpredictable ones at that, which means that pipeline stalls will be normal.

Today, correctly predicted branches are free--the processor stitches together the current path and the new path so there are no bubbles in the pipeline.

It is a statistical thing, the whole magnetic field domain to digital bit pipeline is one giant analog loop of a error extraction.

And, if you run a supply and manufacturing pipeline like Apple's, by the time the components arrive at the factory there's almost nothing you can do about it.

} I think this could be a compelling way of making the next generation of usability in command-line pipelines, by saving people from having to write ad-hoc parsers all the time.

So if you look at it from that perspective it is all about maximizing returns from an investor's perspective and the rest of it is just-so story to keep the pipeline of 20 year olds churning.

That being said, there are a lot of tasks where everyone is going to land on the same linear or logN basic algorithm and the main difference is going to be the algorithm that misses cache frequently and is stuffed with branch mispredicts and pipeline stalls vs.

However, there are a lot of experiments in the pipeline which might clarify the situation: - There are several experiments to measure the proton radius using eletron scattering, with specialized instruments and new methods.
