Data Parallelism
We’re now ready to look at data parallelism. This means of achieving parallel computing exploits the capability to process large data sets by partitioning them into chunks, each of which gets processed in parallel. Such techniques have existed for a long time in database query processor engines but apply equally well in the context of a general-purpose programming language. This is where TPL’s data parallelism comes in, which can be found in the System.Threading.Tasks.Parallel class.
