B) multichip processing
C) SIMD
D) mainframe processing

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MIMD (Multiple Instruction Multiple Data) is a type of parallel processing where multiple processors work independently on different sets of data. This is often done in cluster computing, where groups of computers work together to solve a larger problem. While multichip processing also involves multiple processors, it typically refers to a single computer with multiple chips or processors. SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) is a different type of parallel processing where multiple processors all work on the same instruction, but different pieces of data. Mainframe processing may or may not involve parallel processing, and is typically associated with large centralized systems rather than distributed clusters.
