In "Multithreaded Programming with PThreads" and "Multithreaded Programming with Java," I reviewed the use of a pipeline for the purpose of allowing parallel processing and concluded that there wasn't a lot of value in it. It's easier to write a straightforward program that simply distributes chunks of data for processing to multiple threads. I stand by my reasoning for the situations I described, but have subsequently encountered different situations that merit independent analysis.
