Vector processing is not parallelism, but rather non-scalar. Specifically, it's a single operation that is able to do work on multiple data items, rather than parallel processors doing work at the same time.



It is data parallel. In the same way, I would label super-scalar CPUs machines that automatically perform parallel processing on a linear stream of instructions (taking advantage of so-called "instruction level parallelism."
