How performance of computer is increased using pipeline? Explain with practical example

Pipelining is a technique where multiple instructions are overlapped during execution.Pipelining provides great flexibility. That’s why it’s used.It improves performance by reducing the amount of RAM required to do the analysis:One way it does this is by sharing the code loaded into RAM if a utility is used more than once in the pipeline.Another and more important way, is that only the buffers in the pipeline have to be in RAM at any one time. Data is fed into the pipeline one buffer at a time. The output of one command (via stdout) is fed to the input (via stdin) of the next command in the pipeline. So if your pipeline consists of 5 commands you really have only 6 buffers in RAM at one time. Buffers are small (512 bytes to 4096 bytes usually). This breaks down if you use a utility like ‘sort’ which has to look at all of the data at once. Knowing this, delay sorting until you have pared the data down as far as you can.
