Pipeline Parallelism

Pipeline parallelism is a hardware design technique where a task is broken down into smaller, sequential stages that are executed simultaneously by different parts of the hardware. As soon as one stage completes its work on a data packet, it passes it to the next stage and immediately begins processing the next packet.

This increases the overall throughput of the system by ensuring that multiple operations are happening at once. In trading hardware, this is used to process market data feeds and execute orders continuously without waiting for previous tasks to finish.

It is a highly efficient way to maximize the utilization of FPGA resources. By pipelining, a system can maintain a constant flow of data, which is critical for keeping up with fast-moving markets.
