I have heard of it for years but never went out of my way to research it. Perhaps these links may be of some help.

i only now of parallel computing when it comes to s.e.t.i@home, or similar things, climate prediction and such. i think it was invented when there where no multi-core cpu's out and you needed to go through tons of data in a reasonable time
