Weekly assignments

• Preview questions
• Ask one or two questions by previewing the
  contents to be covered in the coming class of
  this week
• Bad/good/excellent questions
• BAD question careless reading, definition-like
• What is a pipeline?
• GOOD question know the key concepts covered, but
  just dont know exactly their relationship?
• Why does pipeline improve performance?
• EXCELLENT question know the content well and is
  inspired to consider further development
• An ideal n-stage pipeline provides n-times
  speedup. How about the cost? Will the cost be
  n-times as well?
