It&#x27;s not exactly parallel processing, but the Dark Sky app already does its forecasting calculations on the iPhone: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;jackadam.github.io&#x2F;2011&#x2F;how-dark-sky-works&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;jackadam.github.io&#x2F;2011&#x2F;how-dark-sky-works&#x2F;</a><p>&gt; The reason we encode velocity data as an image is so we can pass it off to the GPU on the iPhone and iPad.
