Parallel and Distributed Computing
- Distributed computing - networked computers, accomplish things otherwise not possible within a single computer or improve computation efficiency.
  - Examples
- Parallel computing - multi-functional units within a computer (like multi-core CPUs), execute several tasks simultaneously on different functional units.
