Detailed explanation-1: -Parallel algorithms typically will be faster than sequential algorithms, and as you run the process onmore computers it will continue to grow faster.
Detailed explanation-2: -We demonstrate that parallel machines are always faster than sequential machines for a wide range of machine models, including tree Turing machine (TM), multidimensional TM, log-cost random access machine (RAM), and unit-cost RAM.
Detailed explanation-3: -The most important advantage of using a parallel instead of a sequential algorithm is the ability to perform sophisticated computations quickly enough to make them practical.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sequential Algorithm − An algorithm in which some consecutive steps of instructions are executed in a chronological order to solve a problem. Parallel Algorithm − The problem is divided into sub-problems and are executed in parallel to get individual outputs.
Detailed explanation-5: -Allow students to discover, during the course of the activity, that the parallel processor is much, much faster at completing the task than the single, serial processor.
