Talk:Parallel computing

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Parallel computing. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20150128133120/https://www.nersc.gov/users/computational-systems/hopper/configuration/interconnect/ to https://www.nersc.gov/users/computational-systems/hopper/configuration/interconnect/

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 5 June 2024).

• If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.

Invitation to submit to the WikiJournal of Science

Hello there! This article is already quite good by Wikipedia standards, could it be further improved with the help of feedback from academic experts? To find out, submit it to the WikiJournal of Science.

Reasons for submitting

• Get feedback from external experts, and recommendations from our academic editors.
• Get recognition for your work, in the form of a citable publication.

What we need

• An editor who already made substantial contributions to this article, and who is willing to engage in our editorial process, from initial submission to reacting to recommendations. This involves temporarily working on a separate version of this article at Wikiversity.
• No fees involved: WikiJournals are libre open access journals.

How to submit

• Add the article to the WikiJournal embassy page.
• The article will be imported to the WikiJournal preprint server (see process)
• You may adapt the preprint or otherwise work on it for as long as you wish.
• When ready to submit, fill in your details in the authorship declaration form.

Why this article

We are putting this notice on a few scientific Wikipedia articles. This article was chosen by one of our editors who is motivated to follow it through the process, and thinks it has good chances of being eventually accepted for publication. (Examples: an accepted article, a declined article.) Of course, spontaneous submissions are also welcome!

GPU (SLI, Crossfire)

Similar principle was applied to GPUs: Scalable Link Interface, AMD CrossFireX, NVLink Bridge. It would be good to expand upon, how it is similar and how it differs from CPU parallel computing. ... It is based on the principle of parallel processing where two or more GPUs share the load... 89.201.184.8 (talk) 09:03, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

A more fundamental classification

I'm missing a more fundamental classification of parallelism that is not rooted in implementation details of contemporary computers, or computing at all, just the possible ways to split work.

I think there are fundamentally two ways to split work so it can be worked on simultaneously:

1. Parallel: Distribute the work so that work units take different paths.
2. Series: Split the work in stages that can be pipelined.

Someone must have thought about this before.—Anordal (talk) 21:40, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Parallel vs. Concurrent

Based on the descriptions in these two articles, how can you be parallel without being concurrent? Digital27 (talk) 01:49, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

On further thought, should we really be making the distinction between parallel and concurrent? Digital27 (talk) 16:54, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

They are different.

When two jobs run parallel they run at the same time.

When two jobs run concurrent, they share a core but appear to run at the same time. This is multitasking. FrankYang43338 (talk) 18:44, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
