Question 1: parallel computing is where there are simultaneous processes occurring to increase the speed of computation. Question 2: The program will finish after 632ms because the program is only as fast as its slowest core Question 3: Parallel computing is more efficient because it allows for multiple computations to occur simulataneously Question 4: network redundancy/path redundancy Question 5: Yes, the network is fault tolerant because there are multiple paths for packets to travel to nodes.
