In designing a parallel program, one has to break the problem into discreet chunks of work that can be distributed to multiple tasks. This is known as

• Here a single program is executed by all tasks simultaneously. At any moment in time, tasks can be executing the same or different instructions within the same program. These programs usually have the necessary logic programmed into them to allow different tasks to branch or conditionally execute only those parts of the program they are designed to execute.
• These applications typically have multiple executable object files (programs). While the application is being run in parallel, each task can be executing the same or different program as other tasks. All tasks may use different data
• It distinguishes multi-processor computer architectures according to how they can be classified along the two independent dimensions of Instruction and Dat(A) Each of these dimensions can have only one of two possible states: Single or Multiple.
• It is the simultaneous use of multiple compute resources to solve a computational problem
• These computer uses the stored-program concept. Memory is used to store both program and data instructions and central processing unit (CPU) gets instructions and/ or data from memory. CPU, decodes the instructions and then sequentially performs them.
• The concept of pipelining is most effective in improving performance if the tasks being performed in different stages :
• Parallel computing can include
• Distributed Memory
• Systems that do not have parallel processing capabilities are
• Parallel processing may occur
