- I feel that parallel processing is one of the most important technologies in coming years. Parallel processing has been there since long. But it has become more relevant in recent years because all the microprocessor companies nowadays design and develop processors that by default come with multiple cores. Earlier multi-processors were a luxury; now it's a household item. So why write or use applications that can use only one core?
- Although multi-core is a hot topic, my experience with many people tells me that it's grossly misunderstood. Not just common men, many techies too confuse between terminologies like multiple-cores, multiple processors, threads, processes etc. I'd like to write in simple languages explaining the technologies behind all these.
- Parallel processing is an area of immense interest to me. But I don't work directly in this area. One of my goals for creating this blog is to keep my interest in parallel processing alive. I'd like to learn new things in this exciting world of parallel processing and share my knowledge through this blog. (I remember a poem that I read in my school days that says that if you share your knowledge, you become more knowledgeable. It's just opposite to money. If you share your money, you become poorer).
- To keep a second option in the job market apart from my core field :-)

Why a dedicated blog on parallel processing?
I've just created a new blog titled Multicore-Musings to capture my thoughts from the world of Parallel Processing. I already have a blog titled beberibang. Then why did I choose to create a separate blog on Parallel Processing? There are many reasons behind it. Let me state some of these below:
