'''Task parallelism''' (also known as '''function parallelism''' and '''control parallelism''') is a form of [[parallelization]] of computer code across multiple [[Central processing unit|processor]]s in [[parallel computing]] environments. Task parallelism focuses on distributing execution[[task (computing)|task]] – concretely performed by [[process (computing)|processes]] or [[thread (threadscomputing)|threads]] – across different parallel computing nodes. It contrasts to [[data parallelism]] as another form of parallelism.
