PDC – Parallel and Distributed Computing

Activity #1:

1. What is parallel computing? (10pts.)


Parallel computing alludes to the strategy of executing a few processors an
application or computation at the same time. For the most part, it's an assortment of
computing design where the huge issues burgled autonomous, littler, ordinarily
comparative parts which can be handled in one. it's done by numerous CPUs
communicating through shared memory, which blends comes about upon
completion. It makes a difference in performing huge computations since it
partitions the enormous issue between over one processor.

2. Why is there a need to study parallel computing? (10pts.)


Parallel computing bargains with bigger issues. Within the genuine world,
there are numerous things that run at a certain time but at various places at the
same time, which is troublesome to oversee. In this case, parallel computing makes
a difference to oversee this kind of broadly gigantic data. Parallel computing is the
key to create information in modeling, energetic reenactment and for
accomplishing things. In this manner, parallel computing is required for the new
world too. With the assistance of serial computing, parallel computing isn't perfect
to execute real-time frameworks; too, it offers concurrency and spares time and
money. Only the concept of parallel computing can organize huge datasets,
complex, and their management. The parallel computing approach gives surety the
utilize of assets viably and ensures the viable utilize of equipment, though as it
were a few parts of equipment are utilized in serial computation, and a few parts
are rendered sit out of gear.
