之前，我们介绍了数字设计中一些基本组合逻辑的写法（http://blog.csdn.net/rill_zhen/article/details/39586191）以及状态机的写法（http://blog.csdn.net/rill_zhen/article/details/39585367），本小节我们通过一个小实验来熟悉一下pipeline的写法。
在多数的资料和教课书中提到pipeline时，大多只是解释概念，很少介绍其具体RTL实现的，给人一种高达上的感觉。有的资料中会提到具体写法，但大多采用pipe_ready、pipe_hold信号来控制流水线的暂停和继续。
那种写法在流水线较简单时，一旦流水线变得复杂，尤其是有些stage还包含子流水线时，pipe_ready/pipe_hold的逻辑就变得很杂乱，以致容易出错。本小节我们介绍另外一种写法，将valid/ready协议和pipeline结合在一起。
关于valid/ready协议，我们之前已经介绍过了，请参考（http://blog.csdn.net/rill_zhen/article/details/44219593）。
将每个stage都解耦合，认为是独立的逻辑单元，所有stage只和自己的上一级和下一级交互，并且采用valid/ready握手协议进一步解耦合。这样设计的pipeline，不仅界限清晰，接口简介，耦合度低。便于以后的扩展，debug起来也很容易定位问题。
下面我们设计一个3级全流水模块，采用上述思路进行编码。

上面是一个全流水pipeline，所以所有stage的valid只要有输入就会拉高，ready信号只要下一stage的ready有效就拉高（能接收新数据）。
在实际的工作中，将calc信号换成组合逻辑云，正确处理valid_o和ready_o，即可。
不知道pipeline还有没有更好的写法。
