Calculating Sequential Processing Inefficiency
Consider a 4-layer neural network being trained using a strategy where each layer is assigned to a separate worker device (Worker 1 for Layer 1, Worker 2 for Layer 2, etc.). The processing of a single batch of data proceeds sequentially from Worker 1 to Worker 4. If the forward pass for each layer takes exactly 100 milliseconds (ms), what is the total combined idle time for all four workers during the processing of one complete forward pass? Explain your reasoning.

Diagnosing Parallel Processing Inefficiency
A team is training a large neural network using a layer-wise model parallel strategy. They decide to increase the number of worker devices from 2 to 4, further partitioning the model's layers. Assuming the total computation time for the model remains constant, what is the most likely impact of this change on the overall hardware utilization efficiency?
