Phase Execution in the Pipe Network

The absolute phase of execution of a pipe is the elapsed time between any fixed reference and the next computation for the specified pipe.

The relative phase of execution between two pipes is the elapsed time between the computation of the first pipe and the second one.

The relative phase of execution between two pipes of the same Pipe Network is zero. The phase of execution between two Pipe Networks cannot be specified by the user and depend on the pipe activation time of the application execution.
