Parallelization is the act of designing a computer program or system to process data in parallel. ... When optimized for this type of computation, parallelized programs can arrive at a solution much faster than programs executing processes in serial.

Why is parallelization needed?

There are many reasons for making modern computers parallel: ... Therefore, to increase computational power of computers, new architectural and organizational concepts are needed. Second, power consumption rises with processor frequency while the energy efficiency decreases.

What does task parallelization do?

Task parallelism focuses on distributing tasks—concurrently performed by processes or threads—across different processors. ... A common type of task parallelism is pipelining which consists of moving a single set of data through a series of separate tasks where each task can execute independently of the others.
