Q.16
Data dependence is
  • Involves only those tasks executing a communication operation
  • It exists between program statements when the order of statement execution affects the results of the program.
  • It refers to the practice of distributing work among tasks so that all tasks are kept busy all of the tim It can be considered as minimization of task idle tim
  • None of these
Q.17

Q.19
These computer uses the stored-program concept. Memory is used to store both program and data instructions and central processing unit (CPU) gets instructions and/ or data from memory. CPU, decodes theinstructions and then sequentially performs them.

  • Flynn’s taxonomy
  • Von Neumann Architecture
  • None of these
Q.20
Here a single program is executed by all tasks simultaneously. At any moment in time, tasks can be executing the same or different instructions within the same program. These programs usually have the necessary logic programmed into them to allow different tasks to branch or conditionally execute only those parts of the program they are designed to execute.
  • Single Program Multiple Data (SPMD)
  • Multiple Program Multiple Data (MPMD)
  • Von Neumann Architecture
  • None of these
