Even pipelining inside processors can be seen as some sort of parallelization.
If you have a multi core processor or multiple processors you can get
some parallelization.
What about clustering?
One of my college teachers used to say that my couldn't be sure if we
were living in a parallelized universe or on a singled threaded :-)
Neither we could know if we are on a time-split system (we can get
frozen any moment!)
