A.4 Pipeline Repeat Rate

The repeat rate of the pipeline is the number of cycles that occur between the issuance of one instruction and the issuance of the next instruction to the same execution unit. In the R10000 processor, the main five pipelines all have repeat rates of one cycle, but the iterative units have longer repeat delays.
