Questions and Answers
How do asynchronous tasks interact with each other in terms of completion?
Asynchronous tasks do not depend on each other's completion and can start, execute, and complete at different times.
What is the primary distinction between asynchronous and synchronous computation in parallel and distributed computing environments?
Asynchronous computation allows tasks to execute independently, while synchronous computation requires tasks to complete in a specific order.
What is the main advantage of asynchronous computation in terms of resource utilization?
Asynchronous computation enables dynamic task scheduling and resource utilization, allowing for efficient use of computational resources.
