Deep Parallelism

Definition

Deep parallelism refers to a computational strategy where many processing units simultaneously execute complex tasks, often with interdependent operations. This approach maximizes computational throughput by distributing a single large problem across numerous processors, allowing for significant speed improvements in data-intensive operations. In the context of blockchain and distributed systems, it aims to accelerate transaction processing and consensus algorithms by leveraging concurrent execution. It differs from simple parallel processing by handling more intricate dependencies and communication patterns between computational elements.
