The time required for the first result in a series of com- putations to emerge from a pipeline. This is used to separate one stage of a pipeline from the next. Over time, this tells the mean number of operations completed by a pipeline per clock cycle. The clock cycles that are wasted by an instruction- pipelined processor due to executing a control transfer instruction. A technique used in pipelined CPUs when the com- piler supplies a hint as to whether or not a given condi- tional branch is likely to succeed. The instruction(s) immediately following a conditional control transfer instruction in some pipelined proces- sors, which are executed whether or not the control transfer occurs. A technique used in pipelined CPUs when the instruction immediately following another instruc- tion that reads a memory operand cannot use the updated value of the operand. The most common data hazard in pipelined processors- also known as a true data dependence.
