I have to write a paper comparing X and Y for purpose Z. Well I could do a paper comparing html w/variables and eating rope for a MMO Hockey simulator I would like to do something less overdone. Personally I would like to do something related to Parallel programming (or a related concept) but I'm not sure exactly what to compare.

Shared memory vs distributed memory

Super computer vs Beowulf cluster vs distributed computing like Folding@home

Well, you could compare it to other programming paradigms (e.g. procedural programming or plain OOP).

Sounds like the school of semi-obscure Gamedev.net memes.

I'm not sure I follow, since it's possible to write a parallel program using OOP, and data parallelism is entirely possible with procedural programming.

It made sense when I had 7 or so cups of coffee in me. Mostly I want to avoid the common ~~flamewars~~ debates about DirectX vs Opengl, windows vs linux, and other common topics.
