N pipeline

In computing, an N pipeline refers to a system where multiple processing stages are connected sequentially, forming a pipeline with N steps. Each stage performs part of a task, allowing multiple data items to be processed simultaneously at different stages. This increases efficiency and throughput because while one data item moves to the next stage, other items are being processed concurrently in earlier stages. Think of it like an assembly line, where each station completes a specific task before passing the product to the next, enabling faster overall processing of multiple items.
