Mini toolsDefinition
A type of computation where many calculations or processes are carried out simultaneously.
Detailed Explanation
Parallel computing involves breaking down larger problems into smaller ones that can be solved concurrently. It encompasses various levels of parallelism from instruction-level to task-level parallelism and requires specialized hardware architectures and software designed to coordinate multiple processing elements. Key concepts include task decomposition, load balancing, and inter-process communication.
Use Cases
Scientific simulations, data analysis, machine learning training, graphics rendering, numerical modeling
