ab: Summary: This paper presents quantitative techniques for the evaluation and
    comparison of pipelined digital systems. They are based on three
    measures of effectiveness: delay, average time/operation, and average
    cost/operation. Moreover, the techniques do not assume that there is an
    unbounded stream of operations to be performed, although this case is
    considered. The use of the analysis methods to compare different ways
    of pipelining a given algorithm is illustrated by an investigation of
    the pipelining of general four-neighbor cellular arrays. The methods
    can also be used to evaluate different algorithms for performing the
    same operation. This is illustrated by comparing three array algorithns
    for integer multiplication.
