What is a major disadvantage of multi-process programming in terms of consuming memory?

When a process branches into two, there is overlap between the data storage of one process and another, consuming more memory than needed. Signup and view all the answers

What makes it challenging for one process to access and modify the data of another in multi-process programming?

There is overlap between the data storage of one process and another, making it challenging to access and modify data. Signup and view all the answers

What differentiates multi-threaded programming from single-threaded execution in terms of task execution?

Tasks in multi-threaded programming are performed concurrently, rather than sequentially as in single-threaded execution. Signup and view all the answers

What is a fundamental difference between single-threaded and multi-threaded execution in terms of running statements?

Statements in single-threaded execution are completed before any further statements run, while in multi-threaded execution, statements are not completed before further statements run. Signup and view all the answers

What is a key advantage of multi-process programming in terms of creating new processes within a program?
