Parallel computing, an Uncommon card
Parallel computing is a type of computation in which many calculations or processes are carried out simultaneously.

- Uncommon

Power 171 (ATK + DEF): stronger than 85 % of WikiCards cards.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Large problems can often be divided into smaller ones, which can then be solved at the same time.
- There are several different forms of parallel computing: bit-level, instruction-level, data, and task parallelism.
- Parallelism has long been employed in high-performance computing, but has gained broader interest due to the physical constraints preventing frequency scaling.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Parallel computing article was read about 76,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 82 and blocks with 89: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
How to get Parallel computing
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
