By the end of this article, you’ll have a clear understanding of how parallelism can benefit different types of applications.

1. Image Processing

Image processing tasks often involve pixel-level operations that can be parallelized for significant performance gains. Tasks such as image filtering, resizing, and transformation can be divided among multiple threads, each handling a portion of the image.
