description High Performance Computing (HPC) can be defined as the practice of combining computing power to attain higher level of performance, aiding one to solve complex tasks in various sectors, namely engineering, science and business efficiently and faster, compared to what a normal computer or workstation might offer.

However, with the availability of multiple parallel programming models to be chosen from, users will face with another challenge, on how to choose the best model that meets the specific requirements. Thus, the current work has performed a comparative study on MPI, OpenMP, Threading Building Blocks (TBB), and POSIX threads (Pthreads) as well a hybrid paradigms (MPI+OpenMP and MPI+Pthreads) in compute-intensive problem and in multi-core environment, to provide program developers and potential researchers with the information on the models that fit their goals best.
