The Bulk Synchronous Parallel Model

The Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP) model is a way to organize and process large-scale computations across many computers or processors. It divides tasks into rounds called "supersteps," where each processor does its work independently, then synchronizes at the end of each superstep to exchange information. This approach ensures coordinated progress and simplifies managing complex computations, making it easier to efficiently handle big data or high-performance tasks. Think of it like a team working in phases: they work alone, then pause together to update each other before moving on to the next phase.
