Consider the following short paragraph:

On a computer with a single core CPU, attempting to program real concurrency between two processes (as opposed to apparent concurrency) is impossible, because the CPU can in actuality only do one thing at a time. To fake the user into thinking that more than one process is running at the same time, the CPU can, for example, switch back and forth between running each process very quickly.

Choose one of the following statements about this paragraph:

a) It is all trueb) It is all falsec) Some of it is true, and some of it is false

Vang · Answer 1

Option (A) is the correct answer

Explanation:

Single-core CPU is a term used for the microprocessor which has only one processing unit. in single-core CPU the chip has only one core or a single core which can process only one task at a time.

Single-core CPU can switch between other processes using time-slicing pretending it has a multicore processor.

Hence the most appropriate answer is option (A).
