Computer programmers need to understand the technique of parallel processing. Often, when there is a large problem that needs to be solved, programmers initiate the use of more than one computer processor to work simultaneously on the problem. By using more than one processor, the speed in which the computer can work is increased dramatically and the problem is efficiently solved.

What is an example of parallel processing?

A common example of parallel processing is a web browser loading multiple tabs simultaneously. Each tab is processed independently, allowing for faster loading times compared to sequential processing where each tab would load one at a time. This enables users to access multiple websites concurrently.


Define Distributed parallel processing?

First, let's define parallel processing. Parallel processing is a computing approach to increasing the rate at which a set of data is processed by processing different parts of the data at the same time. Distributed parallel processing is using parallel processing on multiple machines. One example of this is how some online communities (Folding@HOME, the Mersenne Prime search, etc.) allow users to sign up and dedicate their own computers to processing some data set given to them by the server. When thousands of users sign up for this, a lot of data can be processed in a very short amount of time. Another type of parallel computing which is (sometimes) called "distributed" is the idea of a cluster parallel computer. A cluster would be many CPUs hooked up via high-speed ethernet connections to a central hub (server) which gives each of them some work to do. This cluster method is similar to the method described in the above paragraph, except that all the CPUs are directly connected to the server, and their only purpose is to perform the calculations given to them.
