pipelining

Well looks too simple a question to be asked but i asked after going through few ppts on both. Both methods increase instruction throughput. And Superscaling almost always makes use of pipelining as well. Superscaling has more than one execution unit and so does pipelining or am I wrong here? Jed Smith Superscalar design involves the processor being able to issue multiple instructions in a single clock, with redundant facilities to execute an instruction. We're talking about within a single core, mind you -- multicore processing is different. Pipelining divides an instruction into steps, and

So, I want to use node.js and http request pipelining, but I want to use HTTP only as a transport, nothing else. I am interested in exploiting the request pipelining feature. However, one problem that I am running into is that till a send a response to a previous request, the next requests's callback isn't fired by node. I want a way to be able to do this. I shall be handling the ordering of results in the application. Is there a way to do this? The HTTP RFC mentions that the responses should be in order, but I don't see any reason for node.js to not call the next callback till the 1st one is

When we use a transaction in Redis, it basically pipelines all the commands within the transaction. And when EXEC is fired, then all the commands are executed together, thus always maintaining the atomicity of multiple commands. Isn't this same as pipelining? How are pipelining and transaction different? Also, why does not the single threaded nature of Redis suffice? Why do we explicitly need pipelining/transaction? Pipelining is primarily a network optimization. It essentially means the client buffers up a bunch of commands and ships them to the server in one go. The commands are not

Is it because it requires the responses to be made to client in the order of request that causes the head of line blocking problem in HTTP 1.1? If each request takes exactly an equal amount of time, then there won't be head of line blocking and HTTP 1.1 pipelining and would perform same as that of HTTP/2 multiplexing? (let's say there is no request priority in HTTP/2 requests and disregard other changes of HTTP/2 such as header compression, binary, etc.) HTTP/1.1 pipelining still requires the requests to be returned in full, in the order requested. HTTP/2 allows the requests responses to be
