Introduction to Parallel Computing

What is the primary model of operation in traditional computing?

• Parallel processing

• Single processor model

• Quantum computing

• Distributed computing

In traditional computing, how are instructions processed?

• Randomly

• Simultaneously

• Sequentially

• In reverse order

What is one of the main limitations of traditional computing?

• Lack of memory

• Speed constraint of processors

• Inability to connect to the internet

• High cost of processors

What happens when processor speeds are increased beyond a certain point?

• The processor becomes more efficient

• The processor generates less heat

• The processor may overheat and get damaged

• The processor stops working

What is a significant factor that limits the increase in processor speed?

• Lack of electricity

• Heat generation

• Insufficient data

• Software limitations

What is the role of electrons in a processor?

• They cool down the processor

• They generate heat as they move

• They store data

• They connect to the internet

Why is it not feasible to keep making a single processor faster indefinitely?

• It becomes too cheap

• It requires too much electricity

• It risks system damage due to overheating

• It becomes too large

What is the main topic introduced in the video from the Fast Take Skills series?

• Quantum computing

• Parallel computing

• Cloud computing

• Traditional computing

What is the traditional approach to processing instructions in computing?

• Using multiple processors

• Using a single processor

• Using cloud servers

• Using quantum bits

What is the consequence of electrons moving through a processor?

• They increase the processor's speed

• They generate heat

• They decrease the processor's efficiency

• They store more data
