Multiprocessing compared to sequential execution

              

1.      Sequential Execution A sequence is an ordered list of something. Sequential execution means that each command in a program script executes in the order in which it is listed in the program. The first command in the sequence executes first and when it is complete, the second command executes, and so on.

2.      Multiprocessing

      Multiprocessing is the use of two or more central processing units (CPUs) within a single computer system. The term also refers to the ability of a system to support more than one processor or the ability to allocate tasks between them.
