Parallel computing is a type of computation in which many calculations or processes are carried out simultaneously. Large problems can often be divided into smaller ones, which can then be solved at t
Large supercomputers such as IBM's Blue Gene/P are designed to heavily exploit parallelism.

…its own memory and copy of the operating system and application. Each subsystem communicates with the others via a high-speed interconnect." IBM's Blue Gene/L, the fifth fastest supercomputer in the world according to the June 2009 TOP500 ranking, is an MPP. Grid computing is the most distributed form of…
