Comment 3:
What exactly is “sequential processing”?
Follow-up:
Sequential processing refers to those computations that can only be handled by one single processor. Putting in more processors does not help. For example, in a typical parallel or multi-task program, there are some “managerial” tasks to be carried out. One most commonly encountered task is the division of the whole job into pieces. Specifically, if we consider an image processing task, dividing up the image into pieces is one such managerial task. Obviously, this action is not parallelizable.
Can you think about some daily life examples of sequential processing task?
