In [[computer programming]], '''explicit parallelism''' is the representation of concurrent computations by means of primitives in the form of operators, function calls or special-purpose directives. Most parallel primitives are related to process synchronization, communication or task partitioning.<ref name="dij68" /> 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
