Questions tagged [pipelines]
A pipeline is a sequence of functions (or the equivalent thereof), composed so that the output of one is input for the next, in order to create a compound transformation. Famously, a shell pipeline looks like "command | command2 | command3" (but use the tag "pipe" for this). It's also used in computer architecture to define a sequence of serial stages that execute in parallel over elements being fed into a pipe, in order to increase the overall throughput.
