Detailed explanation-1: -In the fifth generation, VLSI technology became ULSI (Ultra Large Scale Integration) technology, resulting in the production of microprocessor chips having ten million electronic components. This generation is based on parallel processing hardware and AI (Artificial Intelligence) software.
Detailed explanation-2: -Parallel processing is a method in computing of running two or more processors (CPUs) to handle separate parts of an overall task. Breaking up different parts of a task among multiple processors will help reduce the amount of time to run a program.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Fifth Generation Computer Systems (FGCS) was a 10-year initiative begun in 1982 by Japan’s Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) to create computers using massively parallel computing and logic programming.
