The concept of "parallel" represents a connection in a computer system in which the bits of a byte are transmitted over separate channels at the same time
(Ticaret) The simultaneous performance of related activities or tasks, normally using different resources, that enables completing those activities faster than if they were done in a serial manner
Something that occurs in parallel with something else occurs at the same time as it. Davies has managed to pursue his diverse interests in parallel with his fast-moving career. parallel bars parallel evolution parallel postulate uneven parallel bars
par·al·lel parallels parallelling parallelled in AM, use paralleling, paralleled1. If something has a parallel, it is similar to something else, but exists or happens in a different place or at a different time. If it has no parallel or is without parallel, it is not similar to anything else. Readers familiar with English history will find a vague parallel to the suppression of the monasteries It's an ecological disaster with no parallel anywhere else in the world
One of a group of abstract lines on the surface of the earth formed by the latitude and longitude coordinate system: parallels represent lines of equal latitude Only the parallel at the equator is a great circle; other parallels are small circles (See related: meridian )
In DC electrical circuits such as a battery bank or solar panel array, this is a connection where all negative terminals are connected to each other, and all positive terminals are connected to each other Voltage stays the same, but amperage is increased In AC circuits such as a wind generator alternator, each parallel coil is connected to common supply wires, again increasing amperage but leaving voltage the same Opposite of Series See also Star
A circle on the surface of the earth, parallel to the plane of the equator and connecting all points of equal latitude, or a circle parallel to the primary great circle of a sphere or spheroid; also a closed curve approximating such a circle Also called parallel of latitude, circle of longitude See coordinate, table
At the back of your pc is a 25-pin parallel port which is used to transmit data between the PC and devices like printers and scanners, using a parallel cable The name parallel describes the way that data travels down more than one wire within the cable simultaneously, to increase the speed it can be transmitted at
A type of circuit connection in which loads are connected side by side across a common voltage source Phase The instantaneous angular position which a sine wave occupies in its cycle The position is usually measured in degrees as referenced to zero and referred to as phase angle Polarity The positive and negative orientation of a source of power or signal
make or place parallel to something; "They paralleled the ditch to the highway" be parallel to; "Their roles are paralleled by ours" being everywhere equidistant and not intersecting; "parallel lines never converge"; "concentric circles are parallel"; "dancers in two parallel rows" of or relating to the simultaneous performance of multiple operations; "parallel processing
If there are parallels between two things, they are similar in some ways. Detailed study of folk music from a variety of countries reveals many close parallels Friends of the dead lawyer were quick to draw a parallel between the two murders
If two lines, two objects, or two lines of movement are parallel, they are the same distance apart along their whole length. seventy-two ships, drawn up in two parallel lines Farthing Lane's just above the High Street and parallel with it
Loosely speaking, parallel implies a situation where multiple things can be done simultaneously, like having multiple check-out lines each serving people all at once Parallel connections are by their nature more expensive than serial ones, but usually faster Also, in a related use of the word, often multitasking computers are said to be capable of running multiple programs in parallel
During data transfer, the ability to transfer several things at the same time For example, transferring 8 data bits at once rather than one at a time as with "Serial" data transfers
A means of communication in which 8 (or more) data paths are present, and an entire byte is transmitted at one time; bit 1 via path 1 and bit 8 via path 8 Printers generally use parallel communications Parallel ports are called LPT1, LPT2, etc Parallel ports are sometimes called "Centronics" ports, after the printer manufacturer that introduced the system See SERIAL
Given distinct lines in the plane that are infinite in both directions, the lines are parallel if they never meet Two distinct lines in the coordinate plane are parallel if and only if they have the same slope
Parallel events or situations happen at the same time as one another, or are similar to one another. parallel talks between the two countries' Foreign Ministers Their instincts do not always run parallel with ours
Both words share the same arguments so both relations are simultaneously true of each argument list (Tone `-', or ``-fe'' if an infinitive compound would supervene )
One of the imaginary circles on the surface of the earth, parallel to the equator, marking the latitude; also, the corresponding line on a globe or map
Two or more lines are said to be parallel if they are in the same plane, but never intersect Two or more planes are parallel if the planes never intersect See figure
An aspect formed when two planets are in the same declination, that is, when they are the same distance north or south of the celestial equator Generally considered to operate much like the conjunction
A character consisting of two parallel vertical lines (thus, ||) used in the text to direct attention to a similarly marked note in the margin or at the foot of a page
A type of recording in which a byte or group of bytes are recorded simultaneously in a vertical line crossing all the tracks on the tape peripheral equipment Auxiliary memory, displays, printers, disc drives, tape drives and other equipment usually attached to the computer system CPU by controllers and cables (they are often packaged together in a desktop computer) printed circuit board (PCB) The circuit board with integrated circuits (chips) attached printed wire assembly (PWA) A completed circuit board with components installed (Same as PCB) printed wire board (PWB) A circuit board without components installed, also known as a bare board PRML Partial-response, maximum likelihood - advanced technology read channel that contributes to a faster data throughput rate protocol A set of rules governing the format of messages exchanged within a communications system
If one thing parallels another, they happen at the same time or are similar, and often seem to be connected. Often there are emotional reasons paralleling the financial ones His remarks paralleled those of the president. = echo
Parallel data communications send several bits over the connection (usually multiple physical wires) at once, as opposed to serial links which send one bit at a time Parallel connections are generally used for printers and for some high speed data connections
1) A circuit interconnection in that the source feeds several branch circuit components and interruption of current flow in one component does not stop current flow in another 2) A method of sending data where each digit of a digital word is sent at the same time over separate wires/connections
Lying or extending alongside of one another and always at the same distance apart; continuously equidistant: said of two or more lines, surfaces, or concrete things
One of a series of long trenches constructed before a besieged fortress, by the besieging force, as a cover for troops supporting the attacking batteries
A form of data transmission in which the data is sent one byte at a time over several wires that each carry one byte In parallel transmission, all the bytes arrive simultaneously, as opposed to serial transmission in which bits arrive one by one
