What is parallel processing?
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?
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?
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
