| CONTENT DESCRIPTION | |||
| Abstract | Dr. Allen proposes that parallel computing - a type of computation in which many calculations or the execution of processes are carried out simultaneously. Large problems can often be divided into smaller ones, which can then be solved at the same time - can help solve the "performance bottleneck" of home computers. | ||
