Parallel processing is a computing technique that involves running two or more processors (CPUs) simultaneously to handle separate parts of an overall task
. This method can reduce the amount of time it takes to complete a task and is commonly used to perform complex tasks and computations
. There are several different forms of parallel computing, including bit- level, instruction-level, data, and task parallelism
. Multi-core processors, which are commonly found on computers today, are capable of performing parallel processing
. Parallel processing can complete multiple tasks using two or more processors, while serial processing (also called sequential processing) will only complete one task at a time using a single processor
