Embarrassingly parallel

A common example of an embarrassingly parallel program is the 3D video rendering handled by a graphics processing unit, where each frame or pixel can be processed with no interdependency. Password cracking is another embarrassingly parallel task that can easily be distributed on CPU cores. In a later chapter, we will tackle a number of similar problems, including image processing and web scraping, which can be made concurrent/parallel intuitively, resulting in significantly improved execution times.
