This approach has a lot in common with fluid dynamics in that some principals are the same.</p> <p>All service requests hit something called a pipeline distributor. The pipeline distributor routes the request to the appropriate pipeline. What is pretty nice about this approach is that the pipelines within a pool can delegate requests to other pipelines within the same pool&#160; or even delegate requests to another pipeline distributor that maps requests to a different set of pipelines within a different pipeline pool.</p> <p>I can’t do this approach justice myself via a simple blog post but upon further searching I came across a rough cuts book named <a href="http://safari.adobepress.com/9780321603944">Software Pipelines: The Key to Capitalizing on the Multi-core Revolution</a>. I’ve quickly skimmed the book just now and it looks as though it covers the subject quite well.</p> <span style="font-size: x-large; text-decoration: underline;">Originally posted at <a href="http://msmvps.com/blogs/gbarnett">http://msmvps.com/blogs/gbarnett</a>.
