[nɑn-ˈper-ə-ləl ˌap-lə-ˈkā-shənz]
nounpl: non-parallel applications
aplicações não paralelas
1. Software applications or processes that do not execute simultaneously or in parallel; programs that run sequentially or independently without coordinated concurrent execution
The company's legacy systems consisted of non-parallel applications that processed data one task at a time.
Os sistemas legados da empresa consistiam em aplicações não paralelas que processavam dados uma tarefa por vez.
2. In computing, applications that cannot be distributed across multiple processors or cores to improve performance
Non-parallel applications are limited in their ability to leverage modern multi-core processors.
Aplicações não paralelas são limitadas em sua capacidade de aproveitar processadores multi-core modernos.
3. Software programs designed to operate independently without synchronization or coordination with other running processes
Each non-parallel application operated in isolation, requiring manual data transfer between systems.
Cada aplicação não paralela operava isoladamente, exigindo transferência manual de dados entre sistemas.
This is primarily technical terminology used in software development and IT industries in both Brazil and the United States. It reflects the evolution of computing from sequential systems to parallel processing, with non-parallel applications increasingly being seen as less efficient in modern computing environments that emphasize multi-core processors and distributed systems.
