A program is ported from a single?core processor to a dual core processor and open MPI is used to parallelize it. It runs more slowly on the dual?core processor than on the single?core processor. Why?

What will be an ideal response?


If one processor is dedicated to controlling the parallel processing, that leaves the other processor on its own with no means of performing any actual parallelism. Consequently, when overheads are taken into account, the dualprocessor system can be slower than using a single processor.
