Question
What is the processing technique by which many processors are used to accomplish data processing?
A. Multiple processing
B. Multi-processing
C. Multiple processors
D. Multi-programming
E. Multiple programming
Answer
Answer: B. Multi-processing
Explanation:
Multi-processing refers to the use of two or more CPUs (processors) within a single computer system to execute multiple tasks simultaneously. This enhances computational power, making the system more efficient for handling large and complex workloads. The multiple processors can work on different parts of a program or different programs simultaneously, which speeds up the processing time compared to single-processor systems.
