What Is Parallel Programming In C? Does Anyone Know?

Parallel programming is using up multiple processors for each process. It means that the program is divided into groups and those groups run through their different processors.

There are two models for parallel programming, shared memory model and distributed memory model.

As the name suggests, the shared memory model has all the processes connected to the one shared memory space whereas in the distributed model each process has its unique memory.
