Define parallel processing, which is also sometimes called multiprocessing. Parallel

processing . IBM’s Option Blue supercomputers put together approximately 1,000

processors to reach three-teraflop speed, or three trillion calculations per second. What

kinds of applications are parallel processing used for? How has Parallel processing

changed traditional ideas about computer design? As an average computer user, how is

parallel processing relevant to you today?
