The way the computer works reminds me of a subway.As a college student who frequently gets tired of phelps food, and eating at Hope, I love going off campus to Subway, to get quality food. A computer gets commands, or fetches commands before decoding them, and executing them. At subway, a customer will walk up to the menu, and give them a specific sandwich they wish to have, and the worker will follow those instructions and produce a sandwich. The more people behind the counter, or the more pipelines a computer has, the faster the operation will run. If a line gets too long, or to many commands are given to a computer, its will help if you have two people working, or a duel core intel. A superscaler would be like the subways that have one person for each category of sandwich, bread, meat, vegetables, dressing, and checkout. A superscaler is a computer with multiple pipelines.
A computers programing unit is similar to a subway.
