Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Adding additional parallel processes will always lead to the same amount of speedup
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Parallel processing has single execution flow. Explanation: The statement is false. Sequential programming specifically has single execution flow.

Detailed explanation-2: -Practically, when a program is executed in parallel, the hypothesis that the parallel program will run faster is not always satisfied. If the main goal of parallelizing a serial program is to obtain a faster run then the main criterion to be considered is the speedup gained from parallelization.

Detailed explanation-3: -Terms in this set (25) Which of the following is true of parallel processing? A. In parallel processing, a large number of heterogeneous products pass through an identical set of processes.

Detailed explanation-4: -The speedup of a parallel solution is measured in the time it took to complete the task sequentially divided by the time it took to complete the task when done in parallel.
