I typed in '/wiki/Parallel_programming' and got 'Parallel computing', but this is the page I wanted. [[Category:[[Category:[[Category:[[Category:[[Category:]]]]]]]]]]#REDIRECT[[]]

There are entirely ("embarrassingly") parallel algorithms for computing digits of $\pi$ . For example, see D. H. Bailey, P. B. Borwein and S. Plouffe, "On The Rapid Computation of Various Polylogarithmic Constants", manuscript, 1996, which is [http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/bailey96rapid.html available via Citeseer]. Also, just because an algorithm appears to have linear data dependencies doesn't mean that it can't be effectively parallelized. For details, see G. Blelloch, "Vector Models for Data-Parallel Computing." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hilbertastronaut (talk • contribs) 16:53, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
