About this document
Introduction to Parallel Processing by Jisha Shaji is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document provides an introduction to parallel processing and describes the evolution of computer systems over four generations from vacuum tubes to integrated circuits. It then discusses four levels of parallel processing from job/program level to intra-instruction level and mechanisms for parallel processing in uniprocessor systems including multiplicity of functional units, pipelining within the CPU, overlapped CPU and I/O operations, use of a hierarchical memory system, and multiprogramming.
