Parallel Processing

• What is the Von Neumann bottleneck?

  A fallacy in the Vonn Neumann architecture, where instructions are completed faster than they are received, leaving the processor idle at times.
• What is parallel processing?

  Simultaneous execution of multiple tasks or instructions using multiple cores to share the load of tasks.
• How does parallel processing work?

  Tasks are split into sub-tasks and executed simultaneously.
• When might parallel processing be redundant?

  When tasks cannot be split into sequential ones, and the execution of one task requires the execution of another first.
