Parallel Computing: Quiz 2

Parallel computing involves using multiple processors within a single system simultaneously to solve problems faster. It relies on shared memory and is used to increase performance for scientific applications. Distributed computing uses multiple independent computers connected over a network to work on parts of a problem and relies on message passing. The key difference is that parallel computing occurs on one system while distributed computing uses multiple systems. There are four types of parallel architectures: single-instruction single-data, single-instruction multiple-data, multiple-instruction single-data, and multiple-instruction multiple-data.
