Parallel Computing
Parallel computing involves the cooperation of multiple processes, usually on multiple processors, to solve together a single problem. Certain calculations and simulations could not be performed without parallel computing due to processing and memory requirements which exceed resources provided by a single contemporary machine. In addition to enabling resource-challenging simulations, parallel computing is used to reduce the time to complete a calculation. By its nature, parallel software development is disproportionately difficult relative to its sequential counterpart.
