  • The strict localization also makes it more efficient to do large-scale parallelization, and it is likely that DFT calculations including more than a thousand atoms will appear soon.

And so now the parallelization approach has gone to data centre scale.

Morphology

parallelization = parallelize (transparent) = parallel + ize + ation

The noun is formed by regular suffixation from the verb 'parallelize', and the derivation is straightforward.

Etymology

Parallelization comes from parallel ('at the same time or side by side') and the ending -ization meaning 'the act of'. In computing, it means dividing a job into parts that run 'at the same time', which is why parallelization makes work finish faster.
