Practice decomposing problems in a way they can be solved on multiple processing elements in parallel. Identify problems that cannot be decomposed in this way

Practice decomposing problems in a way they can be solved on multiple processing elements in parallel. Identify problems that cannot be decomposed in this way and why. Good if you can make a certain problem run on eight processors. But will it also run on a thousand processors? Processor clock speeds will not rise much or any. Everyone has enough memory for most every day problems now, so memory will only gradually increase. The next bragging rights will be how many processing elements my box has vs. your box.
