Multiple
Copies of the Same Task
An easy way to complete more work is to employ multiple copies of the
same task. Each individual task will take the same time to complete, but
because multiple tasks are completed in parallel, the throughput of the system
will increase.
This is a very common strategy. For example, one system might be running
multiple copies of a rendering application in order to render multiple
animations. Each applica-tion is independent and requires no synchronization
with any other.
Figure 3.17 shows this situation, with a single system running three
copies of task A.
Once again, the performance of the system is an increase in throughput,
not an improvement in the rate at which work is completed.
