What differentiates parallel processing from serial processing?

∙ 11y ago
Serial Processing is the act of attending to and processing one item at a time in a sequential/deliberate/CONSCIOUS effort.
This is usually contrasted against Parallel Processing, which is the act of attending to and processing all items simultaneously. (For example, when we look at a picture in a book of a red balloon we don't have to think "that is a balloon, it is red, the grass is green, the sky is blue, the book is old"...our mind can look at the page and UNCONSCIOUSLY, simultaneously process the entire picture and those listed details in one mere glance.)
Therefore, parallel processing is to serial processing as unconscious is to conscious.

What is the Difference between like and unlike parallel forces?
Forces which are parallel and acting in same direction are called like parallel forces. Forces which are parallel and acting in opposite direction are called unlike parallel forces.
What is the hypothesis for parallel circuits?

Parallel processing
What is the definition of parallel computing?
The definition of parallel computing is the processing of data many bits at a time as opposed to serial computing which is the processing of data one bit at a time.
Serial vs parallel processing?
It is less costly to design ever faster serial lines than to create and build the necessary circuitry to keep faster parallel channels properly aligned. This is why Parallel ATA and Parallel SCSI have migrated to Serial ATA (SATA) and Serial SCSI (SAS).

What is the Difference between pipeline processing and serial processing?
* The main difference is that pipeline processing is a category of techniques that provide simultaneous, or parallel, processing within the computer and serial processing is sequential processing by two or more processing units.
