New to the net, etc, etc, so I may be asking an un-necessary question-- Whatzit mean--"pipeline"? There seemed to be an assertion that it was invented with the RISC notion. The UNIVAC/Sperry/Unisys 1100's have had instruction stacks(4 or 8--maybe 16 deep) for a long time--that is 4 or more instructions in some state of decomposition and execution on every cycle. Izzat the same thing? Larry if there was an opinion there--its mine, or I stole it somewhere.

I am a graduate student taking a course in computer architecture. A
requirement of the course is to write a term paper on a subject in
computer architecture. I would appreciate any references to papers on
instruction pipelining, particularly those discussing and comparing
different implementations.
Please respond via mail. I will post the references if there is
sufficient interest.
Thanks in advance.
