The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for parallel computing. According to one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a job parallel processing method, the job processing at least comprising executing an upstream task in a first phase and executing a downstream task in a second phase. The method comprises: quantitatively determining data dependence between the upstream task and the downstream task; and selecting time for initiating the downstream task at least partially based on the data dependence. There is further disclosed a corresponding apparatus. According to embodiments of the present invention, it is possible to more accurately and quantitatively determine data dependence between tasks during different phases and thus select the right time to initiate a downstream task.
