**Parallel** Nodes and Flows let you run multiple **Async** Nodes and Flows **concurrently**—for example, summarizing multiple texts at once. This can improve performance by overlapping I/O and compute.
> Because of Python’s GIL, parallel nodes and flows can’t truly parallelize CPU-bound tasks (e.g., heavy numerical computations). However, they excel at overlapping I/O-bound work—like LLM calls, database queries, API requests, or file I/O.

## AsyncParallelBatchNode
Like **AsyncBatchNode**, but run `exec_async()` in **parallel**:
