Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Evaluate a parallel processing architecture for an AI task requiring simultaneous image and text analysis. Which model (SIMD or MIMD) would you choose and why?
💡 Hint: Consider the flexibility needed to process different types of instructions.
Design a scenario using data parallelism to reduce computation time for a deep learning model. Specify how tasks would be divided among processors.
💡 Hint: Think about dividing large datasets into smaller, manageable blocks for processing.
