Problem
Xiomara is a researcher studying the effect of carbon emissions from airplanes on global warming. She collects millions of data points tracking the path of airplanes and develops a program that analyzes the data.
When she runs the program on a single company's airplanes, it takes an hour to complete, so she becomes concerned that it will take much too long to run on all of the airplane data.
Her friend Dacari suggests using parallel computing to speed up the analysis of the airplane emission data.
How would parallel computing speed up the analysis?
