Integration, root solving or minimizing a function whose evaluation is itself time consuming. On a multi core machine you can get several function values in the same time a single core machine produces one. Adapting numerical integration is probably quite easy, while root solving and optimizers will probably require new algorithms which get higher order convergence from the multiple function values computed in parallel in order to minimize iteration count.
