Coarse-grained
·adj Having a coarse grain or texture, as wood; hence, wanting in refinement.
granularity
<jargon, parallel> The size of the units of code under
consideration in some context. The term generally refers to
the level of detail at which code is considered, e.g. "You can
specify the granularity for this profiling tool".
The most common computing use is in parallelism where "fine
grain parallelism" means individual tasks are relatively small
in terms of code size and execution time, "coarse grain" is
the opposite. You talk about the "granularity" of the
parallelism.
The smaller the granularity, the greater the potential for
parallelism and hence speed-up but the greater the overheads
of synchronisation and communication.

Granularity
Granularity (also called graininess), the condition of existing in granules or grains, refers to the extent to which a material or system is composed of distinguishable pieces. It can either refer to the extent to which a larger entity is subdivided, or the extent to which groups of smaller indistinguishable entities have joined together to become larger distinguishable entities.
Examples of use of coarse grain
1. Tobacco seeds rarely are found at archaeological sites because of their size _ smaller than a coarse grain of pepper _ and dry burial conditions, Archer said, but the well‘s watery, oxygen–deprived environment preserved one tobacco seed in excellent condition.
