So, Jonah is moving and he asked me to write a guest post. Jonah’s recent articles about computing prompted me to write about distributed computing. The question I will answer is: how do you go from computing with a sequential program to computing on many core machines (aka Parallel Computation)? Parallel Computation First of all, what is parallel computation? In a nutshell, parallel computation is the science which allows you to use a many processors to compute faster. You certainly would want to do this if you worked on the stock market where the faster you are at calculating
