Note
A form that does double duty: it is the verb's -ing participle, and it is also a noun with its own plural, pipelinings. Every verb sense behind it is transitive, so it normally takes an object, as in pipelining oil to a refinery or pipelining a microchip. The final e of pipeline drops before -ing, just as it does in lining and timing.
