Describe two unique features of each of the following five parallel archi- tecture models. A unique feature means that it is not found in any of the other models. Parallel vector processor (PVP) (b) Symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) (c) Massively parallel processor (MPP) Cluster of workstations (COW). (d) Distributed shared memory (DSM) machine. 3. (12 marks) Write a complete C program that computes and displays the equivalent resistance in series and parallel for any number of resistors entered by the user. The program will first display a menu with the following options: 1) Compute resistance in series 2) Compute resistance in parallel 3) Exit It will next prompt the user to select an option 1-3. If the user selects an option 1) or 2) the program will prompt the user to enter any requested number of resistors' values and then compute and display the total resistance in series (option 1), or total resistance in parallel (option 2). Please note that the option 3 will terminate the program. It is required to use a loop that will loop back to the menu option selection until the user selects the option 3 to terminate the program. It is also required to design and use the following two user-defined functions, which prototypes are shown below: float seriesRes(); //gets any number of resistors values and computes and returns //equivalent resistance in series: Rs=R1+R2+R3+...+Rn float parallelRes(); //gets any number of resistors values and computes and returns //equivalent resistance in parallel: Rp=1/(1/R1+1/R2+1/R3+...+1/Rn) ANSWER: Describe two unique features of each of the following five parallel archi- tecture models.
