[yushionly]

hi,i am a newer in verilog,i read this code but do not know the meaning.
what does pipeline #(20) IFIDpipeline mean in verilog? while pipeline is a module i have defined,then what does "#(20) " mean? is it a time delay? Thanks

It's passing the value (20 in this case) to the parameter defined in IFIDpipeline.
Search verilog parameterized on google and you can find a lot of examples.
