In this chapter, we saw how to distribute jobs into multiple processor cores, allowing the program to use all the available computing power.

Although parallel processing is a great resource, we found in our examples that it's not applicable for all situations. Specifically, when the bottleneck is not the CPU, multiprocessing may downgrade the program speed.

In the course of our examples, we took low-resolution satellite images and were able to increase their resolution and level of detail through resampling and pan sharpening, obtaining images of much greater value for visual analysis.
