You can get five programmers in a room to give you six different definitions of parallelism. I've been in situations where a bunch of programmers were throwing the terms "parallel programming" and "multithreading" around assuming that they were all on the same page. I have to be careful because these days even the term "programmer" carries a certain amount of controversy, depending on the company one keeps.
