is a technique used in modern CPUs to improve performance by breaking down the execution of instructions into multiple stages. Each stage in the processes a specific part of an instruction. However, ]]s can occur, creating delays in execution. A , for example, can happen when a later instruction depends on the result of a previous instruction that has not yet finished executing. s can arise when multiple instructions require the same hardware resource at the same time. In order to resolve these hazards, processors may have to flush the pipeline, discarding any instructions that have not yet completed. Despite the challenges posed by hazards, processor pipelining remains a key aspect of modern CPU design.
