Topic: Parallelizing an application

Pick another parallel application, not covered in the text, and less than 7 years old, and describe the various steps in parallelizing it (decomposition, assignment, orchestration, and mapping). You may use an example from the peer-reviewed literature, or a Web page. You do not have to go into great detail, but you should describe enough about these four stages to make the algorithm interesting.
