Parallel Computing
Parallel Computing
Parallel computing is the art of programming computers that have more than one processor. Some parallel computers are just regular workstations that have more than one processor in them; others are giant single computers with many processors (these are generally referred to as supercomputers); and others are networks of individual computers. A network of computers configured to coordinate on computing problems is also called a cluster. A parallel computer may be able to run programs much faster than a traditional single computer.
Information about supercomputers is located in Computers/Supercomputing.
