The numerical calculation is a fundamental tool of chemical engineering as well as in many other sciences. An example is the simulation software and process optimization. When the number of variables and equations to solve is high, the limiting factor is the processing capacity. Advances in the speed of microprocessors is reaching its practical limit, and how to get more performance then is to use multiple CPU's in parallel (multi-core). Another activity that increasingly requires more processing power are the servers for computer networks in the chemical company.
In a recent seminar of Intel, called "Parallelism Programming Has Gone Mainstream: Are You Ready?" Refers to this trend and its impact on the world of software.
