Is this an example of parallelization? Not sure if this is the right exchange for this question. But you could definitely answer it. Note professor said this was “wrong” on their quiz.
Question: Identify a daily activity that can be speed up with  parallelization.
My answer: People driving their own car vs people taking a bus.
My reasoning: When people all take a bus they have to wait for all the destinations before theirs to pass. When people drive a car they go directly to their destination.
The professor said this isn’t a good example of a serial processor made parallel. I’m not convinced. Where am I wrong? I plan to argue my case..
If I want to go from A to B, that doesn’t get faster by taking a bus. But if I want to take 50 people from A to B that actually will be done much faster.
A simple example: How do you make six boiled eggs? And how do you make 120 boiled eggs if you have an oven with four flames, that will involve some pipelining as well.
