When a clock cycle ends, all the signals resulting from a pipeline stage are stored in a pipeline register. A storage element - invisible to the user - that separates pipeline stages. So if a stage adds two numbers for example, the pipeline register will hold the result of this addition. The next cycle this result will be fed to the circuits that make up the next pipeline stage. If the result of the addition I mentioned is an address for example, then it might be used to access the cache. 23/31
