Yes. It is used for parallel computing. The software needs to be
compiled with a parallelizing compiler (such as those developed and sold
by The Portland Group). Won't help your word processing at all. However,
interpolating a 3D surface from point elevation data, or running an
erosion model on a large drainage basin, would benefit from this.
