==Etymology==
"Embarrassingly" is used here in the same sense as in the phrase "an [[embarrassment of riches]]", meaning an overabundance—here referring to parallelization problems which are "embarrassingly easy".<ref>Matloff, Norman (2011). ''The Art of R Programming: A Tour of Statistical Software Design'', p.347. No Starch. {{ISBN|9781593274108}}.</ref> The term may also imply embarrassment on the part of developers or compilers: "Because so many important problems remain unsolved mainly due to their intrinsic computational complexity, it would be embarrassing not to develop parallel implementations of polynomial homotopy continuation methods."<ref>{{cite book|last1=Leykin|first1=Anton|last2=Verschelde|first2=Jan|last3=Zhuang|first3=Yan|title=Parallel Homotopy Algorithms to Solve Polynomial Systems|year=2006|journal=Proceedings of ICMS
