Final answer:

The space-sharing approach dedicates processors to specific tasks or threads without sharing, as opposed to the load-sharing approach that aims to balance workload across multiple processors.

Step-by-step explanation:

The space-sharing approach is the opposite of the load-sharing approach and provides implicit scheduling defined by the assignment of threads to processors.

Whereas load-sharing aims to balance the work evenly across processors, space-sharing dedicates each processor to a specific task or thread, allowing for dedicated resources but possibly underutilizing the system if tasks are uneven. An example of the space-sharing approach is when a multi-core processor runs a different application on each core, without sharing cores between applications.

The task-based approach is the opposite of the load-sharing approach and provides implicit scheduling defined by the assignment of threads to processors.
