A loop could by parallelized by distributing iterations among processes. Every process will execute just a subset of the loop iterations range. %K parallel processing %K parallel program %K loops and I/O operations parallelization %U https://sites.google.com/site/oeconomicsofknowledge/v1_i2_4q_2009_fa.pdf
