The notion of computational granularity specifically, granularity of
parallel computation has been defined in very broad terms thus far
- Coarse & Fine.
The use of such broad characterizations have given arise some misuse
and misunderstanding of the respective terms and on the nature
of computation that is being referred to.
Isn't it time we had much finer characterizations rather than the
two broad (and thus coarse) demarcations? Leave it to the jury to
decide and let the moderator be the judge.
It would be nice to have names like rock, stone, salt, powder to
identify each level of granularity.
