Hi.
The question may seem vague, but let me explain it.
Suppose we have a function f(x,y,z ....) and we need to find its value at the point (x1,y1,z1 .....).
The most trivial approach is to just replace (x,y,z ...) with (x1,y1,z1 .....).
Now suppose that the function is taking a lot of time in evaluation and I want to parallelize the algorithm to evaluate it. Obviously it will depend on the nature of function, too.
So my question is: what are the constraints that I have to look for while "thinking" to parallelize f(x,y,z...)?
If possible, please share links to study.
