Questions and Answers

What is parallel processing?

  • A technique used to provide sequential data-processing tasks for increasing computational speed
  • A technique used to process data independently of each other
  • A technique used to reduce computational speed by processing data one at a time
  • A technique used to provide simultaneous data-processing tasks for increasing computational speed (correct)
  • How is parallel processing achieved?

  • By limiting the number of functional units to focus on one operation at a time
  • By using a single functional unit to perform all operations independently
  • By using a single processor to execute multiple instructions sequentially
  • By having multiple functional units that perform same or different operations simultaneously (correct)
  • What does parallel processing involve in terms of ALUs?

  • The system only has one ALU to execute instructions sequentially
  • The system has no ALUs as it relies solely on processors for data processing
  • The system may have two or more ALUs to execute two or more instructions at the same time (correct)
  • The system has multiple ALUs but can only execute one instruction at a time
  • In what way can parallel processing be implemented?
