Abstract
Thus far we have always (implicitly) assumed that the statements of a statement sequence execute one after the other. Programs consisting of such statement sequences are termed sequential. However, in practice some problems are difficult or impossible to solve with a sequential program. Here we can resort to parallel programming, which is actually the more general view: sequential programs can be viewed a special (although very important) case of parallel programs.
