Data parallelism is an approach towards parallel processing that depends on being able to break up data between multiple compute units (which could be cores in a processor, processors in a computer, ...

The first one I’ll go over today is task and data parallelism. What are they and what do they mean and then I’ll finish with talking a bit about Amdahl’s Law. Amdahl’s law is a very interesting ...
