Exam 13: Parallel Programming

Java objects whose methods are synchronized are called synchronized objects.

A buffered message-parsing mechanism is known as a(n)____ mechanism.

____ parallelism provides fine-grained control.

True parallelism is one method of solving the von Neumann bottleneck.

It is not possible to have a system in which each processor has some private memory in addition to shared memory.

In Java,every object has a single ____ that is available to threads.

Semaphore signal and delay operations are identical to monitor continue and suspend.

____ is the idea of executing many computations at the same time in parallel.

When implementing the Runnable interface in Java,the entire program will not finish execution until all of its threads complete the execution of their run methods.

Program-level parallelism provides fine-grained control over processes.

The automatic assignment by language translators of processors to different parts of a program to achieve parallelism is likely to be suboptimal.
