Pipeline Architecture Pipelines Defined
Above illustrates a pixel processing pipeline
- Bottles are pixels
- Processors are Fillers, Cappers, Sealers and Labelers
Each processing element performs at a constant rate
More processing elements may be added in line without slowing down data (bottle) throughput
Bottles (Pixels) move along conveyor line (pipeline) at a constant rate (Bottles/Minute or Pixels/Second)
Unprocessed Data (Empty Bottles)
Processed Data (Completed Bottles)
