Abstract
In recent years parallel computing has become one of the most promising directions for speeding up algorithms and applying numerical schemes for multi-dimensional problems. And although the use and analysis of parallel algorithms in the dynamics of rarefied gases was initiated only in the last few years, our description of state of art in this field will be out of date as soon as it is published. Nevertheless, we can note the main features of schemes for directly solving the Boltzmann equation which are used for parallel implementation.
