Parallel Computing Practice Exam

Parallel Computing refers to the practice of solving a problem after dividing it into smaller sub-problems and solving the sub-problems concurrently on multiple processors or cores instead of solving the problem as a single. The practice increases processing speed and efficiency with making the arrangement of  processors or cores scalable so as to solve more complex problems quickly. It is used widely in scientific research and data analysis.
