Give the difference between multi-task computers and multi purpose computers?
Multi-purpose computers are capable of doing lots of different things. A PC is a multi-purpose computer, whereas a washing machine is a computer that is designed specifically to do one thing. Multi-tasking computers can do lots of things at the same time.
Is a process that allows the CPU to receive a single instruction and then execute it on multiple pieces of data rather than receiving the same instruction each time each piece of data is received?
"SIMD, which stands for 'single instruction, multiple data,' is a process that allows the CPU to receive a single instruction and then execute it on multiple pieces of data rather than receiving the same instruction each time each piece of data is received."(Pg. 434, A+ Guide to Managing and Maintaining Your PC)

Is every vector is a tensor and vice-versa?
A digital answer that is with yes or no will not help, so recall the defnition of vector being a quantity which has both magnitude and single direction .Tensor is a quantity of multi-directions. Vector is unidirectional quantity. Tensor is omnidirectinal quantity. So a vector could be viewed as a special case of tensors . Mohammed Khalil - Jordan
