In [[computer programming]], '''explicit parallelism''' is the representation of concurrent computations by means of primitives in the form of operators, special-purposefunction directives,calls or functionspecial-purpose callsdirectives. Most parallel primitives are related to process synchronization, communication or task partitioning. As they seldom contribute to actually carry out the intended computation of the program but, rather, structure it, their computational cost is often considered as [[parallelization overhead]].

The advantage of explicit [[parallel programming]] is the programmer
