PTU M.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering 3rd Sem Parallel Computing (CS 517) Papers are designed to test a student’s knowledge of the basics of the subject and therefore, questions are asked from topics like the rate of function of a k-stage linear pipeline, the different forms of parallelism that can be exploited at different processing levels of a computer system with examples, fixed workload model, fixed execution time model, memory bound model, numerical on modes of operation when the requisite data is provided, handler’s classification of parallel computers, Amdahl’s law for measuring speed up performance, various topologies of a multiprocessor system, numerical on the diameter of a 16 space hypercube, and so on. The questions are both of the short objective type and the long answer type making scoring fairly easy. The student should expect numerical questions too. The paper gives you an option to answer 5 questions wherein the total no. of questions are 8. As all the questions will fetch equal marks, the total marks what you get for this paper is 100.
