Consider a computational pipeline with 4 sequential workers processing a stream of micro-batches. The pipeline operates such that a worker begins processing a micro-batch as soon as it receives it from the previous worker. At the exact moment that the second worker (worker 2) finishes processing the first micro-batch, which of the following statements accurately describes the state of the entire system?

A large computational model is divided into 4 sequential stages, with each stage running on a separate hardware worker. To improve efficiency, a data batch is split into multiple smaller 'micro-batches' which are processed sequentially through the 4 workers. A worker begins processing a new micro-batch as soon as it has passed the previous one to the next worker in the sequence. At the exact moment the 4th worker begins processing the 1st micro-batch, what is the 1st worker doing?
