Line 29: The parallelization of software is a significant ongoing topic of research. Cointegration of multiprocessor applications provides flexibility in network architecture design. Adaptability within parallel models is an additional feature of systems utilizing these protocols.<ref>{{cite journal \|last1=Duran \|first1=A \|title=Ompss: a proposal for programming heterogeneous multi-core architectures \|journal=Parallel Processing Letters \|date=2011 \|volume=21 \|issue=2\|pages=173–193 \|doi=10.1142/S0129626411000151 }}</ref> In the consumer market, dual-core processors (that is, microprocessors with two units) started becoming commonplace on personal computers in the late 2000s.<ref>{{Cite web \|title=Definition of dual core \|url=https://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia/term/dual-core \|access-date=2023-10-27 \|website=PCMAG \|language=en}}</ref> ~~Quad~~In the early 2010s, quad-core processors were also being adopted in that era for higher-end systems before becoming standard by the mid 2010s.
