Hello, every1

Could someone please give me some gentle info about parallelism?
Such as where it is used and how. Although any to-idiot-info is 
good to my purpose(writing a report, plan to have one page to 
describe parallelism in general), the following questions are
more important:

	1: parallelism and scientific computations?
	2: what is instruction level parallelism?
	3: how parallelism is associated with Thinking machines?
	4: Any good example in large DBMS?
	5: Why people build parallel system?

Thanks lot for your help.

Bin Chen
