Writing on the recent developments and usages of parallel computing

 message from Instructor:

Please send me a formal (edited, sourced, etc) whitepaper on the recent developments and usages of parallel computing. Include a summarized (few pages) development of the modern processor from early days, detail where the split into parallel and sequential computing
happened. Do this by Sunday. I really do mean formal. It has to read well, so a brief visit to the writing center should be in your schedule. 

PLEASE I need to write about every detail that instructor requested.
