Parallel processing can complete multiple tasks using two or more processors whereas serial processing -- also calledsequential processing-- only completes one task at a time using one processor. If a computer
The traditional algorithm is based on the concept of sequential processing. Since task execution is linear, the traditional approach will become very counterproductive. In comparison with hardware parallelism, the progress of parallel software development is very slow. It suffers from all the problems ...
Summary: Parallel programming is an extension of sequential programming; today, it is becoming the mainstream paradigm in day-to-day information processing. Its aim is to build the fastest programs on parallel computers. The methodologies for developing a parallel program can be put into integrated ...

In parallel processing of data, many operations can be performed in parallel simultaneously as compared to sequential processing where sequences of operations are performed one after the other. The different types of parallelism and architectures for parallel databases are discussed as follows. 4.1.2.1...
First published on TECHNET on May 11, 2012 I saw a question in the forums the other day by a person who asked how you should expect activities in a workflow...
We describe the problem, the sequential solution, the parallelization strategy and present the performance values we have achieved. Our implementation is based on a 60-node transputer system, available at the Parallel Processing Laboratory in Basel.STEPHAN WASER...

resulting in load imbalance, and some cores will sit idle while others finish. To address this, you want to over-partition the work, dividing the workload into the smallest feasible units so that all of the machine's resources can partake in the processing of the workload until it is comp...
On-Chip Vs. Off-Chip Parallel Processing Parallel processing enhancements can be divided into two broad categories: on-chip and off-chip. On-chip parallelism relies on architectural enhancements for improved performance, while off-chip parallelism incorporates additional processors. On-Chip Parallel ...
