Origin of term "Embarassingly parallel"

[Kolbuszewski, Marcin]

Hi,

This might be slightly off-topic - but hopefully still interesting -
question.
Term "embarassingly parellel" is used quite often in context of work we are
interested in.
Do you know who made/used this term first time?

Cheers,

Marcin Kolbuszewski
