Paralleeltöötlusvõimsuse

Paralleeltöötlusvõimsus refers to the capability of a computer system to perform multiple computations or tasks simultaneously. This is achieved by dividing a problem into smaller parts that can be processed independently and concurrently by different processing units. These processing units can be individual cores within a single CPU, multiple CPUs in a system, or even distributed across a network of computers. The primary goal of paralleeltöötlusvõimsus is to significantly reduce the time required to complete complex computations or large datasets.

The effectiveness of paralleeltöötlusvõimsus is often measured by metrics such as speedup, which is the ratio of the time taken by a single processor to the time taken by multiple processors, and efficiency, which indicates how well the available processing units are utilized. Not all problems are suitable for parallel processing; those that can be broken down into independent sub-problems and exhibit high degrees of concurrency benefit the most. Applications that heavily rely on paralleeltöötlusvõimsus include scientific simulations, data analysis, artificial intelligence, and graphics rendering. Modern software and hardware are increasingly designed to leverage parallel processing to enhance performance and handle increasingly demanding computational challenges.
