4Question 4.
Is SIMD related to DLP?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider how instructions are executed in parallel.
Question 5.
You are designing a new algorithm for processing big data sets. How would you incorporate DLP to improve performance?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how breaking data into smaller segments can lead to concurrent processes.
Question 6.
Analyze a given task constraint: A data processing task requires operations that cannot be parallelized. What implications does this have for using DLP?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how tasks can affect one another in a sequence.
