it's not quite transparent, in particular because it's explicit and therefore visible.
Haven't Brian Goetz and Paul Sandoz used the phrase "unobtrusive parallelism" ?

However, that wording refers more to the manner of specifying a processing
mode, not to the relation between them, so perhaps it's not what you're aiming
for.

How about: "sequential-parallel conformance" ?
