This paper deals with parallel computation in electrical engineering. Shared memory and distributed memory architectures are presented, with their implication in the development of parallel numerical algorithms. The necessity of optimizing the parallel performances is highlighted. Both Gray C98 and Gray T3E are finally compared.
