Parallel Computing Questions
Parallel workload serialization contention factor refers to the measure of contention or competition among parallel tasks or processes for accessing shared resources, such as memory or I/O devices, in a parallel computing system. It quantifies the level of contention or interference that occurs when multiple tasks attempt to access the same resource simultaneously, potentially leading to delays or inefficiencies in the parallel execution. A higher contention factor indicates a higher level of contention and can negatively impact the performance and scalability of parallel computing systems.
