Everything about Massively parallel
Use of many processors to perform simultaneous operations
Massively parallel is the term for using a large number of computer processors to simultaneously perform a set of coordinated computations in parallel. GPUs are massively parallel architecture with tens of thousands of threads. Wikipedia →
