Introduction to the concept of pipelining in processors

Pipelining happens inside a processor. It is the process of fetching the next instruction whose address is stored in the Program Counter while the previous instruction is still being executed. Thus, pipelining is the execution of tasks simultaneously. It increases the speed of execution of a task. The instruction is divided into several parts called as a pipeline. Simultaneous execution of an instruction also makes the processor efficient.
