It uses a perfect parallization, also called delightful or pleasing parallelization: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embarrassingly_parallel

Meaning there is no need for OpenMP, MPI, and similar (since there is no communication at all), and one can thus obtain a perfectly linear scaling behavior :slight_smile:
