 Parallel computing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The processors may either communicate in order to be able to cooperate in solving a problem or they may run completely independently, possibly under the control of another processor which distributes work to the others and collects results from them (a "processor farm").
The term parallel processor is sometimes used for a computer with more than one processor, available for parallel processing.
A huge number of software systems have been designed for programming parallel computers, both at the operating system and programming language level.

The processor then examines the instructions in the instruction window for dependencies in order to determine which instructions it can execute in parallel.
The more execution units the processor's execution core has, the larger the instruction window needs to be in order to extract even more parallelism from the code stream.
In a nutshell, software writers who develop for Xenon must take on more of the burden of optimizing their code by making it explicitly parallel, and in return they get more execution hardware to play with.
