Question

What is computational granularity in advanced computer architecture?

Answer 1

Granularity ( or parallel computing) ... Granularity is usually measured in terms of the number of instructions executed in a particular task. Alternately, granularity can also be specified in terms of the execution time of a program, combining the computation time and communication time.

Answer 2

Explanation:

• In parallel computing, granularity (or grain size) of a task is a measure of the amount of work (or computation) which is performed by that task. Another definition of granularity takes into account the communication overhead between multiple processors or processing elements.
