Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a scientific simulation that takes 100 hours to process. If parallel processing allows the simulation to be split across 10 processors, how long would it take to complete using parallel processing?

💡 Hint: Think about how tasks split among processors reduce time.

Challenge 2 Hard

In a cloud computing environment supporting 100 users, if each request takes 2 seconds in a serial processing model, how does parallel processing impact this time if 10 requests can be handled simultaneously?

💡 Hint: Consider the effects of distributing load across multiple processors.
