    Parallel Processing

    • Parallel processing is a method of performing multiple tasks simultaneously, where multiple processing units or cores work together to execute different parts of an overall task.
    • This allows for significant speedup and improved efficiency in task completion.

    Advantages of Parallel Processing

    • The primary advantage of parallel processing is that it enables faster processing of large datasets and complex computations, resulting in reduced processing time.

    Applications of Parallel Processing

    • Scientific simulations, such as weather forecasting and genomics analysis, are examples of tasks that can benefit from parallel processing, as they involve large datasets and complex calculations.
