A synecdoche is a figure of speech where: • A part stands for a whole • An individual stands for a class • A material stands for a thing (Or the reverse.) In distributed computing, this idea is everywhere. We talk about a task, meaning a fragment run on a single computer, or a whole distributed grid working on a unified task. Synecdoche embodies this idea.
