Interview Questions: Assembly Line Operation

Parallel processing involves dividing program instructions among multiple processors to reduce program running time. Pipelining is a stage-by-stage process where each stage performs an operation on data in a sequence, such as an assembly line. Pipelining hazards occur when different processes pick up the same business object and can be eliminated through status handling or scan delays. The two main types of parallel processing are symmetrical multi-processing (SMP) and massive parallel processing (MPP). Pipelining is also referred to as an assembly line operation because it performs operations at each stage like an assembly line.

INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

PIPELINING AND PARALLEL PROCESSING

Que1. What is parallel processing?


Ans. In computers, parallel processing is the processing of program instructions
by dividing them among multiple processors with the objective of running a
program in less time.
Que2.What is pipelining?
Ans. Pipelining is a process in which the data is accessed in a stage by stage
process. The data is accessed in a sequence that is each stage performs an
operation. If there are n number of stages then n number of operations is done.
Que3. What are different pipelining hazards and how are they eliminated?
Ans. Pipeline is a process where a business object goes through several stages
asynchronously. Where one stage picks up processes and drops it for the next
process to pick up. The hazard is when the a different thread of the same process
picks up the business object leads to malfunction. This can be handled by status
handling or scan delays.
Que4. What are the types of parallel processing?
Ans. Parallel Processing is broadly classified into 2 types.
a) SMP - Symmetrical Multi Processing.
b) MPP - Massive Parallel Processing.
Que5. Pipelining process is also called as?
Ans. Assembly line operation because it performs its operation at assembly line.
