Computer Parallelism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 148.197.5.18 (talk) at 11:50, 5 May 2004 (really short, in a hurry, added stub). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Computer performance and reliability can be enhanced using parallelism. Using multiple processors, for example, can shorten the time a computation takes by performing operations in tandem. Using multiple disks for storage can increase reliability because a backup exists if one disk fails.
