In [[computational complexity theory|complexity theory]], the class '''NC''' (for "Nick's Class") is the set of [[decision problem]]s decidable in polylogarithmic time on a [[parallel computing|parallel computer]] with a polynomial number of processors.  In other words, a problem is in '''NC''' if there exist constants <math>c</math> and <math>k</math> such that it can be solved in time <math>O((\log n)^(contracted; show full)
