{{Main|Data parallelism}}

A data-parallel model focuses on performing operations on a data set which is usually regularly structured in an array. A set of tasks will operate on this data, but independently on separate partitions. In a shared memory system, the data will be accessible to all, but in a distributed-memory system it will divided between memories and worked on locally. Data parallelism is usually classified as [[SIMDMIMD]]/[[SPMD]] or [[SIMD]].
