pipeline break
pipeline stall

    (Or "pipeline stall") The delay caused on a
   processor using pipelines when a transfer of control is
   taken.  Normally when a control-transfer instruction (a
   branch, conditional branch, call or trap) is taken, any
   following instructions which have been loaded into the
   processor's pipeline must be discarded or "flushed" and new
   instructions loaded from the branch destination.  This
   introduces a delay before the processor can resume execution.

   "Delayed control-transfer" is a technique used to reduce
   this effect.
