Question 1

What is Task-Level Parallelism?

  • A method for running multiple applications
  • Executing independent tasks simultaneously
  • Using a single thread for execution

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on what TLP refers to in threading.

Question 2

True or False: TLP requires tasks to be dependent on one another.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how dependencies can slow things down.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a computer with eight cores, and four tasks to run. Each task is independent but takes varying amounts of time (2, 4, 3, and 1 minutes). How long will it take to complete all tasks when using TLP? Discuss the rationale.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how parallel execution affects overall completion.

Question 2

Design a simple multithreaded application that can utilize TLP effectively. What tasks would you include and how do they stay independent?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about tasks in a software context that do not have to wait for each other.
