In computer programming, explicit parallelism is the representation of concurrent computations using primitives in the form of operators, function calls or special-purpose directives. Most parallel primitives are related to process synchronization, communication and process partitioning. As they rarely contribute to actually carry out the intended computation of the program but, rather, structure it, their computational cost is often considered as overhead.
