It is a specialized form of parallel computing, where cells , compute data and store it independently of each other.thumb|240px...

- In mathematics, Systoles of surfacesSystoles of surfacesIn mathematics, systolic inequalities for curves on surfaces were first studied by Charles Loewner in 1949 . Given a closed surface, its systole, denoted sys, is defined to the least length of a loop that cannot be contracted to a point on the surface. The systolic area of a metric is defined to...
