When we parallelize an algorithm, a larger job is divided into multiple parallel tasks. It is not always straightforward to find the optimal number of parallel tasks into which a job should be divided. If there are too few parallel tasks, we will not get much benefit from parallel computing. If there are too many tasks, then it will generate too much overhead. This is a challenge also termed as task granularity.
