In general parallel computing involves algorithms, programming models, hardware, and applications.\u00a0A parallel computing system is either a set of computers with a high-speed network connection (cluster) or a computer with more than one processor (parallel computer). Multicore, manycore, GPGPU, FPGA, grid and cloud computing systems are also suitable platforms for parallel computing.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, the main application of parallel computing has been developing algorithms and systems for solving large scale scientific and engineering problems.\u00a0 More recently, however,\u00a0 with the advent of multicore and manycore architectures, there is an increased interest in applying parallel computing techniques just in any area.
