In a parallel computation, multiple processors work together to solve a given problem. These are exciting times in parallel computing. The largest parallel machine has over a hundred thousand processors, and it is believed that machines with over ten thousand processors will be commonly available by the end of the decade. Furthermore, with most chip manufacturers moving toward multicore processors, most machines will soon be parallel ones. It is, therefore, essential to learn to use parallel machines effectively.
