Parallel Programming System

Definition:

A Parallel Programming System uses multiple processors to execute tasks simultaneously. It divides

large problems into smaller ones and solves them at the same time to increase speed and

efficiency.

Key Features:

- Simultaneous execution of tasks

- Multiple processors working together

- Efficient use of system resources

- Requires synchronization between tasks

Types of Parallelism:

1. Data Parallelism - Same task on different data

2. Task Parallelism - Different tasks executed simultaneously

Advantages:

- Faster execution

- Can handle complex problems

- Efficient system performance

Disadvantages:

- Complex programming

- Special hardware may be needed

- Hard to debug and test

Examples:

- Weather forecasting models


- Scientific simulations

- Graphics rendering

- Machine learning training
