Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how tasks split among processors reduce time.

Question 2

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?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the effects of distributing load across multiple processors.
