From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   granularity
  
      The size of the units of {code} under
      consideration in some context.   The term generally refers to
      the level of detail at which code is considered, e.g. "You can
      specify the granularity for this profiling tool".
  
      The most common computing use is in parallelism where "fine
      grain parallelism" means individual tasks are relatively small
      in terms of code size and execution time, "coarse grain" is
      the opposite.   You talk about the "granularity" of the
      parallelism.
  
      The smaller the granularity, the greater the potential for
      parallelism and hence speed-up but the greater the overheads
      of synchronisation and communication.

   immediate future are dim. Following the closing of the Black Angel
   lead and zinc mine in 1989, Greenland became almost completely
   dependent on fishing and fish processing, the sector accounting for
   95% of exports. Prospects for fisheries are not bright, as the
   important shrimp catches will at best stabilize and cod catches have
   dropped. Resumption of mining and hydrocarbon activities is not around
   the corner, thus leaving only tourism with some potential for the near
   future. The public sector in Greenland, i.e., the central government
   and its commercial entities and the municipalities, plays a dominant
   role in Greenland accounting for about two-thirds of total employment.
   About half the government's revenues come from grants from the Danish
   Government.
