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. (1997-05-08)

According to Webopedia, "granularity" is helpful when discussing systems: "The extent to which a system contains separate components (like granules). The more components in a system –– or the greater the granularity –– the more flexible it is." Without granularity, it‘s hard to get traction.
