seeriatöötluseks

Seeriatöötlus, also known as serial processing, refers to the execution of instructions or operations one after another in a sequential manner. In computing, this is the most fundamental way that a processor handles tasks. When a program is executed, the central processing unit (CPU) fetches instructions from memory, decodes them, and then executes them in the order they appear. Each step must be completed before the next one can begin. This contrasts with parallel processing, where multiple instructions or operations can be performed simultaneously.

The concept of seeriatöötlus is inherent in the architecture of most processors. Instructions are typically placed in a queue, and the processor works its way through this queue, dedicating its resources to one task at a time. This approach is straightforward to implement and manage, making it the basis for many computational processes. However, for tasks that can be broken down into independent sub-tasks, seeriatöötlus can become a bottleneck, limiting overall performance. The speed of seeriatöötlus is primarily determined by the clock speed of the processor and the efficiency of its instruction pipeline.
