'''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 [[Task (computing)|tasks]]—concurrentely—concurrently performed by [[Process (computing)|processes]] or [[Thread (computing)|threads]]—across different processors. It contrasts to [[data parallelism]] as another form of parallelism.
