Mathematics and science
- Parallel (latitude) A circle of latitude, on the Earth, is an imaginary east-west circle connecting all locations that share a given latitude. A location's position along a circle of latitude is given by its longitude, an imaginary east-west line circling a globe
- Parallel circuits In electrical network analysis, components of an electrical circuit can be connected in many different ways . The two simplest of these are called series and parallel and occur very frequently. Components connected in series are connected along a single path, so the same current flows through all of the components. Components connected in parallel, as opposed to series
- Parallel (geometry) Parallelism is a term in geometry and in everyday life that refers to a property in Euclidean space of two or more lines or planes, or a combination of these. The existence and properties of parallel lines are the basis of Euclid's parallel postulate. Two lines in a plane that do not intersect or meet are called parallel lines
- Parallel evolution Parallel evolution is the development of a similar trait in different not closely related species , but descending from the same ancestor
- Parallel transport In geometry, parallel transport is a way of transporting geometrical data along smooth curves in a manifold. If the manifold is equipped with an affine connection , then this connection allows one to transport vectors of the manifold along curves so that they stay parallel with respect to the connection. Other notions of connection come equipped
- Parallel of declination In astronomy, declination is one of the two coordinates of the equatorial coordinate system, the other being either right ascension or hour angle. Declination in astronomy is comparable to geographic latitude, but projected onto the celestial sphere. Declination is measured in degrees north and south of the celestial equator. Points north of the, used in astrology Astrology is a group of systems, traditions, and beliefs which hold that the relative positions of celestial bodies and related details can provide information about personality, human affairs and other "earthly" matters. A practitioner of astrology is called an astrologer. Astrologers believe that the movements and positions of
Computing
- Parallel algorithm In computer science, a parallel algorithm, as opposed to a traditional sequential algorithm, is one which can be executed a piece at a time on many different processing devices, and then put back together again at the end to get the correct result
- Parallel computing Parallel computing is a form of computation in which many calculations are carried out simultaneously, operating on the principle that large problems can often be divided into smaller ones, which are then solved concurrently . There are several different forms of parallel computing: bit-level, instruction level, data, and task parallelism
- Parallel (software), a UNIX utility for running programs in parallel
- Parallel communication In telecommunication and computer science, parallel communication is a method of sending several data signals simultaneously over several parallel channels. It contrasts with serial communication; this distinction is one way of characterizing a communications link

- Parallel (manga), a shōnen manga by Toshihiko Kobayashi
- Parallel (video), a video album by R.E.M. R.E.M. is an American rock band formed in Athens, Georgia, in 1980 by Michael Stipe , Peter Buck (guitar), Mike Mills (bass guitar), and Bill Berry (drums and percussion). R.E.M. was one of the first popular alternative rock bands, and gained early attention due to Buck's ringing, arpeggiated guitar style and Stipe's unclear vocals. R.E.M

- "Parallel", the fourth track on Bad Religion's 1996 album The Gray Race
Music terminology
- Parallel fifths In music, consecutive fifths are progressions in which a perfect fifth is followed by a different perfect fifth between the same two musical parts (or voices): for example, from C to D in one part along with G to A in a higher part. Intervening octaves are irrelevant to this aspect of musical grammar; for example, parallel twelfths (i.e., as, the concurrence of successive intervals of a perfect fifth between two voices
- Parallel harmony, also known as "harmonic planing" or "parallel voice leading"
- Parallel key In music, the parallel minor or tonic minor of a particular major key is the minor key based on the same tonic; similarly the parallel major has the same tonic as the minor key. For example, G major and G minor have different modes but both have the same tonic, G; so we say that G minor is the parallel minor of G major, the minor (or major) key of a major (or minor) key with the same tonic
- Parallel chord
Other uses
- Avinguda del Paral·lel, one of the main streets of Barcelona
- Parallel cousin Parallel cousin, also called ortho-cousin, is an anthropological term denoting consanguinial kin who are in the same descent group as the subject and are from the parent's same-sexed sibling. A cross cousin is from the parent's opposite-sexed sibling. Simply put, a parallel cousin is a first cousin who is the child of the father's brother or the
- Parallelism (grammar) In grammar, parallelism is a balance of two or more similar words, phrases, or clauses. The application of parallelism in sentence construction improves writing style and readability. Parallelism may also be known as parallel structure or parallel construction. In English, parallelism of the predicate provides for one of the few structural, a balance of two or more similar words, phrases, or clauses
