Parallelism in Sequence Processing
A common strategy to manage memory when processing a very long input sequence is to divide it into smaller segments and process each segment sequentially, one after the other. In contrast, another approach processes the entire sequence in a single, large computational step. Explain why the segmented, sequential strategy inherently reduces the degree of computational parallelism compared to the single-step approach.

A memory-optimization technique for processing long input sequences in a transformer model involves breaking the sequence into smaller segments and processing them sequentially, one after the other. In contrast, the standard method processes the entire sequence in a single, large computational step. Which statement best analyzes the primary performance trade-off of using the segmented, sequential approach?
