| Data Hazard |
A type of pipeline hazard where a later instruction depends on the result of an earlier instruction that has not yet completed. |
| Hazard |
A hazard in processor pipelining refers to a condition that prevents the next instruction in a sequence from executing during its designated clock cycle. |
| Instruction Pipeline |
A series of stages through which instructions pass in a processor pipeline, each stage carrying out a specific operation. |
| Pipeline Flush |
The process of discarding all instructions in a pipeline due to a misprediction or hazard, and restarting the pipeline. |
| Pipeline Hazard |
A condition in processor pipelining where the next instruction cannot execute in the next stage due to a dependency or conflict. |
| Processor Pipelining |
A technique in computer architecture that allows multiple instruction stages to be overlapped in order to improve efficiency and performance. |
| Structural Hazard |
A condition in processor pipelining where the hardware is unable to support overlapping of certain stages. |
