When should I use parallel processing?

When should I consider using parallel processing in my applications?

You should consider using parallel processing when you have tasks that can be executed simultaneously, like data processing or simulations.

Can you give me an example of a task that benefits from parallel processing?

Sure! Image processing is a great example. You can process multiple images at once, significantly speeding up the workflow.

Are there any downsides to using parallel processing?

Yes, there can be overhead in managing multiple processes, and not all tasks can be parallelized effectively.

How do I determine if my task is suitable for parallel processing?

Look for tasks that are independent and can be broken down into smaller sub-tasks. If they can run concurrently, they are suitable.
