What is the need for parallel processing?

1. Parallel computing involves breaking jobs into discrete parts that can be executed concurrently.

2. Each part is further divided into a series of instructions.

3. Instructions from each part execute simultaneously on different CPUs.

4. Parallel systems involve the simultaneous use of multiple computer resources, which can include:

- A single computer with multiple processors

- Multiple computers connected by a network (parallel processing cluster)

- A combination of both

5. Parallel processing improves performance by allowing tasks to be completed faster and more

efficiently.

6. Programming for parallel systems is more difficult than for single-processor systems.

7. This complexity is due to varying architectures and the need to coordinate and synchronize

multiple CPUs.
