Abstract
Computing of multiple tasks simultaneously on multiple processors is called Parallel Computing. The parallel program consists of multiple active processes simultaneously solving a given problem. Parallel computers can be roughly classified as Multi-Processor and Multi-Core. In both these classifications the hardware supports parallelism with computer node having multiple processing elements in a single machine, either in single chip pack or on more than one distinct chip respectively. Parallel programming is the ability of program to run on this infrastructure which is still quite difficult and complex task to achieve. Out of many two different approaches used in parallel environment are MPI and OpenMP, each one of them having their own merits and demerits. Hybrid model combines both approaches in the pursuit of reducing the weaknesses in individual.
