meaning of superpipelined

1. superpipelined 1. Traditional pipelined architectures have a single pipeline stage for each of: instruction fetch, instruction decode, memory read, ALU operation and memory write. A superpipelined processor has a pipeline where each of these logical steps may be subdivided into multiple pipeline stages. 2. Marketese for pipelined. superprogrammer A prolific programmer; one who can code exceedingly well and quickly. Not all hackers are superprogrammers, but many are. Productivity can vary from one programmer to another by three orders of magnitude. For example, one programmer might be able to write an average of three lines of working code in one day, while another, with the proper tools, might be able to write 3,000. This range is astonishing; it is matched in very few other areas of human endeavour. The term "superprogrammer" is more commonly used within such places as IBM than in the hacker community. It tends to stress naive measures of productivity and to underweight creativity, ingenuity, and getting the job *done* - and to sidestep the question of whether the 3,000 lines of code do more or less useful work than three lines that do the Right Thing. Hackers tend to prefer the terms hacker and wizard. [Jargon File] superscalar A superscalar architecture is a uniprocessor that can execute two or more scalar operations in parallel. Some definitions include superpipelined and VLIW architectures; others do not. Superscalar architectures apart from superpipelined architectures require multiple functional units, which may or may not be identical to each other. In some superscalar processors the order of instruction execution is determined statically purely at compile-time, in others it is determined dynamically partly at run time. super source quench A special packet designed to shut up an Internet host. The Internet Protocol IP has a control message called Source Quench that asks a host to transmit more slowly on a particular connection to avoid congestion. It also has a Redirect control message intended to instruct a host to send certain packets to a different local router. A "super source quench" is actually a redirect control packet, forged to look like it came from a local router, that instructs a host to send all packets to its own local loopback address. This will effectively tie many Internet hosts up in knots. Compare godzillagram, breath-of-life packet. [Jargon File] SuperTalk Silicon Beach Software. A superset of HyperTalk used in SuperCard. superuser [Unix] Synonym root, avatar. This usage has spread to non-Unix environments; the superuser is any account with all wheel bits on. A more specific term than wheel. [Jargon File] Super VGA Super Video Graphics Array Super Video Graphics Adapter Super Video Graphics Array Super Video Graphics Adaptor Super Video Graphics Array Super Video Graphics Array SVGA A video display standard created by VESA for IBM PC compatible personal computers. The resolution is 800 x 600 4-bit pixels. Each pixel can therefore be one of 16 colours. See Video Graphics Array. [Is there a palette? Standard document? Adapter, Adaptor, or Array?]
