Best Answer

Granularity refers to the ratio of actual computation to the amount of communication required by a parallel system.

A fine-grained system will do a small amount of computation before transferring data/results. A coarse-grained system will do a relatively large amount of computation before reporting back.

What is the difference between fine-grained and coarse-grained atomic actions?

A Fine-grained atomic action is one that can be implemented directly by an indivisible machine instruction. A coarse-grained atomic action is a sequence of fine-grained atomic actions that appear to be indivisible.

Does granite have small grains?

Granite is actually coarse grained and not fine grained. It is coarse grained because it came from the component of the continental crust.


What is the textural difference between coarse-grained phaneritic and fine-grained aphaneritic rocks?

Coarse grained textured rocks (phaneritic) have very large crystals because the magma, from which they are created, cools very slowly. Fine grained rocks (aphaneritic) have small crystals because the lava, from which they are created, cools down very quickly.


Is limestone coarse grained or fine grained?

Fine grained rock exhibits a non-visible or nearly non-visible crystalline structure on a fractured surface. On the opposite end, a coarse grained rock exhibits mineral crystals of the rock's constituents on a fractured surface. The larger the crystals, the coarser grained is the rock. Basalt would be an example of a fine grained rock. Granite would be an example of a coarse grained rock.
