Line 5:

In this class of computing, all of the processing elements are connected together to be one very large computer. This is in contrast to [[distributed computing]] where massive numbers of separate computers are used to solve a single problem.

Through advances in [[Moore's Law]], [[System-on-Chip]] (SOC) implementations of massively parallel architectures are becoming cost effective, and finding particular application in high definitionperformance [[embedded systems]] appplications such as [[video processingcompression]]. Examples include chips from [[Ambric]], [[Picochip|picoChip]], and [[Tilera]].
