Ted,

That means to me that the # of stages dictates the length of the pipeline but I don't think that's the intent of your statement.

That is exactly what I'm saying.

1. The amount of work required to execute an instruction is the same, regardless of the length of the pipeline.

2. It is more difficult to architect a deep pipeline. It requires more thought up front to partition the pipe.

3. It is easier to design each stage of a deep pipeline. Because the amount of work done by a short stage is reduced, the design complexity is also reduced.
