Embarrassingly Parallel

I remember we found this expression in one of the papers we were studying during the Large Scale Machine Learning seminar. Here we have a definition, take from Wikipedia:

In parallel computing, an embarrassingly parallel workload (or embarrassingly parallel problem) is one for which little or no effort is required to separate the problem into a number of parallel tasks. This is often the case where there exists no dependency (or communication) between those parallel tasks.
