Definitions of fine grain words
- abbreviation Technical meaning of FINE GRAIN granularity 3
- noun Definition of fine grain in Technology (jargon, parallel) The size of the units of code under consideration in some context. The term generally refers to the level of detail at which code is considered, e.g. "You can specify the granularity for this profiling tool". The most common computing use is in parallelism or concurrency where "fine grain parallelism" means individual tasks are relatively small in terms of code size and execution time, "coarse grain" is the opposite. You talk about the "granularity" of the parallelism. The smaller the granularity, the greater the potential for parallelism and hence speed-up but the greater the overheads of synchronisation and communication. 1
