Study Notes
Parallel Computing and Parallel Computers
- Parallel computing is a cooperative way of solving a problem by multiple compute elements.
- A parallel computer is a system that connects multiple compute elements to perform parallel computing for various applications.
Classification of Parallel Computers
- Flynn's classification (1972) divides parallel computers into four categories:
- SISD (Single-Instruction, Single-Data): single instruction, single data stream
- SIMD (Single-Instruction, Multiple-Data): single instruction, multiple data streams
- MISD (Multiple-Instruction, Single-Data): multiple instructions, single data stream
- MIMD (Multiple-Instruction, Multiple-Data): multiple instructions, multiple data streams
Shared Memory vs Distributed Memory
- Shared memory systems have a single cache-coherent address space.
- Distributed memory systems do not have a cache-coherent single address space.
- Multi-core processors are an example of shared memory systems.
- Clusters are an example of distributed memory systems.I apologize, but the text you provided appears to be a jumbled collection of letters and symbols, making it difficult to extract meaningful information or key facts. It does not appear to be a coherent text or a list of questions that can be used to generate study notes.
If you could provide a clear and readable text or a list of questions, I would be happy to help you generate study notes.
