Q.1
Distributed Memory
  • A computer architecture where all processors have direct access to common physical memory
  • It refers to network based memory access for physical memory that is not common
  • Parallel tasks typically need to exchange dat(A) There are several ways this can be accomplished, such as through, a shared memory bus or over a network, however the actual event of data exchange is commonly referred to as communications regardless of the method employ
Q.2
Shared Memory is
  • A computer architecture where all processors have direct access to common physical memory

  • Parallel tasks typically need to exchange dat(A) There are several ways this can be accomplished, such as through, a shared memory bus or over a network, however the actual event of data exchange is commonly referred to as communications regardless of the method employ
Q.3
Serial Execution
  • A sequential execution of a program, one statement at a time
  • Execution of a program by more than one task, with each task being able to execute the same or different statement at the same moment in time
  • A program or set of instructions that is executed by a processor.
  • None of these
Q.4
Parallel computing can include
  • Single computer with multiple processors
  • Arbitrary number of computers connec- ted by a network

Q.5
Scalability refers to a parallel system’s (hardware and/or software) ability
  • To demonstrate a proportionate increase in parallel speedup with the removal of some processors
  • To demonstrate a proportionate increase in parallel speedup with the addition of more processors
