Gourt > Computers > Parallel Computing (26)
Parallel computing is the simultaneous execution of the same task (split up and specially adapted) on multiple processors in order to obtain results faster. The idea is based on the fact that the process of solving a problem usually can be divided into smaller tasks, which may be carried out simultaneously with some coordination.
Parallel computing systems
A parallel computing system is a computer with more than one processor for parallel processing. The recent multicore processors are also parallel computing systems.
There are many different kinds of parallel computers. They are distinguished by the kind of interconnection between processors (known as "processing elements" or PEs), processors and memories.
