Lateral Computing and Parallel Computing
Parallel computing focuses on improving the performance of the computers/algorithms through the use of several computing elements (such as processing elements). The computing speed is improved by using several computing elements. Parallel computing is an extension of conventional sequential computing. However, in lateral computing, the problem is solved using unconventional information processing whether using a sequential or parallel computing.

Famous quotes containing the word parallel:
“There isn’t a Parallel of Latitude but thinks it would have been the Equator if it had had its rights.”
