Answer

Parallel computing is also called as parallel processing. It is a type of computing architecture in which several processors execute or process an application simultaneously.

Parallel computing helps in performing large computations by dividing the workload between more than one processor, all of which work through the computation at the same time.

Most supercomputers use parallel computing principles to operate the applications.
