text:
Software is said to exhibit scalable parallelism if it can make use of additional processors to solve larger problems,
i.e. this term refers to software for which Gustafson's law holds.
Consider a program whose execution time is dominated by one or more loops,

for example, the following finite difference heat equation stencil calculation: In the above code, we can execute all iterations of each "i" loop concurrently,
i.e., turn each into a paral
