She may complain that her pipe is too thin or too slow, meaning that data does not move very fast at all between her machine and the network.
Building on this same metaphor, if a user suffers from a broken pipe, which is often seen in Web page-based error messages, it means the data that was being uploaded or downloaded across the network stopped moving because of a connection loss.
In Unix, a pipe is a form of interprocess communication capable of passing information from one program process to another.

 Method and apparatus for pipe line processing with a single arithmetic logic unit - Patent 4613935
To facilitate pipe lining an instruction format is employed having a fixed location for the data field which specifies the register to be used for address preparation.
Since the user of the computer expects instructions to be executed in the sequence written, the processor must detect when the operand register of instruction I is used for address preparation in instruction I+1 and defer the address preparation until after execution of the preceding instruction.
Computer logic is used to establish the relationships between the sequencer states and enables setting and resetting the F/Fs to cause the necessary sequences to occur.

 Pipe Network Calculator. Hardy Cross. Darcy Weisbach or Hazen Williams losses
The pipe network calculation uses the steady state energy equation, Darcy Weisbach or Hazen Williams friction losses, and the Hardy Cross method to determine the flowrate in each pipe, loss in each pipe, and node pressures.
If you are designing a system (as opposed to analyzing a system that is already in place), vary the pipe diameters until the pipe velocities are reasonable and pressure at node D is as low as possible to minimize the height of the water tower.
The water tower height is proportional to the pressure at D according to h=P/S, where P is the pressure at D. S is the weight density of the water, and h is the water tower height required.

 This Old Pipe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Pipes can either be written to, read from, or both read and written to, much like pouring water into it's namesake, or "flowing" data into a file.
Not only are streams and pipes a ubiquitous fixture in most operating systems, but because C is the language that the most popular operating systems were written in, there are usually three types of streams available to console applications: standard input, standard output, and standard error.
While the results of piping the output from a console application into the graphical world might be somewhat awe-inspiring, the underlying mechanisms that we use to make it all happen are certainly not.

The boa model is an improvement of the shift register, where each upper cell is considered as a bounded tank and lower cell is a bounded pipe which links one tank to the next.
Each pipe cell contain a function which computes the flow (during TIC) in terms of two variables, the available room in the downstream cell, the available data in the upstream cell and one parameter, the pipe size.
The feeding cell is a degenerated pipe cell computing a random input bounded by the available free space in the first tank cell of the register.

This has happened to the extent that a local utility computing company says it it can be cheaper for a user at one end of the country to farm out its computer infrastructure to a provider at the other end than to run its own systems.
Private utilities refer to the ability to provide utility computing capability within an enterprise or to a closely-knit group of enterprises, while public utilities refer to the ability to provide computing capacity to any customer at any time independent of customer affiliation.

 InfoComm - Panoram aids visualization-system upgrades to DLP™
Many of the existing visualization systems use one-pipe SGI Onyx computers to feed three channels of high-resolution video to three projectors blended at the edges to create a single large image or "desktop." This applies to both flat-screen and curved-screen configurations.
In a one-pipe system, a multichannel graphics card (DG5-8) from SGI allows a single-pipe Onyx to be configured to a three-channel display using an IRIX operating system level utility called IRCombine.
This taxes the computer graphics system to the point where the maximum size of each channel in a three-channel system is limited to an XGA (1024x768) resolution.
