Discussion
Which of the following are representative application areas where vector processing is used ?
(i) AI & Expert systems
(ii) Seismic Data Analysis
(iii) Petroleum Explorations
(iv) Medical Diagnosis
Answer: A
All four are application areas of vector processing: (i), (ii), (iii) & (iv).
Vector processors apply one operation to long arrays of data, so they suit problems built on large matrix and array computations. Standard computer architecture texts (Mano among them) list long-range weather forecasting, petroleum explorations, seismic data analysis, medical diagnosis, aerodynamics and space flight simulations, artificial intelligence and expert systems, mapping the human genome and image processing.
Seismic data analysis, petroleum exploration, medical diagnosis and AI and expert systems are all on this list, so options naming only some of them, or none, are wrong.
