Parallel Processing is a term used to denote a large class of techniques that are used to provide simultaneous data processing tasks for the purpose of • Save time and/or money• Solve larger problems
Parallel computing is the simultaneous use of multiple compute resources to solve a computational problem

The Universe is Parallel
• Galaxy formation• Planetary movement• Weather and ocean patterns• Tectonic plate drift• Rush hour traffic• Automobile assembly line• Building a jet• Ordering a hamburger
at the drive through.

Areas of Parallel Computing
• Physics – applied, nuclear, particle, condensed matter, high pressure, fusion, photonics
• Bioscience, Biotechnology, Genetics• Chemistry, Molecular Sciences• Geology, Seismology• Mechanical Engineering - from prosthetics to spacecraft• Electrical Engineering, Circuit Design, Microelectronics• Computer Science, Mathematics

Why Use Parallel Computing?
• Save time and/or money: In theory, throwing more resources at a task will shorten its time to completion, with potential cost savings. Parallel computers can be built from cheap, commodity components.
• Solve larger problems: Many problems are so large and/or complex that it is impractical or impossible to solve them on a single computer, especially given limited computer memory.
• Better response times: As the computing tasks are engaged by a group of processors, the tasks are completed in a smaller amount of time

ways to classify parallel computers.
• One of the more widely used classifications, in use since 1966, is called Flynn's Taxonomy
The 4 possible classifications according to Flynn’s are :
• Single Instruction, Single Data (SISD)
• Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD)
• Multiple Instruction, Single Data (MISD)• Multiple Instruction, Multiple Data (MIMD):

Some basic requirements for achieving parallel execution
• Operating system capable of managing the multiple processors.
• Computer system/servers with built in multiple processors and better message facilitation among processors.
• Clustered nodes with application software, such as Oracle RAC

Conclusion
• Parallel computing is fast.• Parallel computing is the future of computing.
