Parallel Processing.

Apologies for redundancy to many here.

The standard illustration in the past to compare parallel processing to standard sequential processing was to picture a stage in an auditorium with a large audience when someone has a heart attack.

Sequential processing would have one member of the audience at a time queried as to whether he/she were a doctor.

Parallel processing would have one person get on the stage and ask if there was a doctor in the house.

Much faster, huh?

But how do you program a computer with as many processors as there are members of the audience?

Ain't easy I can tell you for a fact but even way back when there were rudimentary effort to develop programming languages and partial hardware solutions with array processing.

The hardware always comes first and is the easy part - no matter how hard it is.

That's one reason it always takes longer.

Longer than what?

- Longer than anybody expects.

JMO.

Best, Terry
