We propose the split common fixed point problem that requires to find a common fixed point of a family of operators in one space whose image under a linear transformation is a common fixed point of another family of operators in the image space. We formulate and analyze a parallel algorithm for solving this split common fixed point problem for the class of directed operators and note how it unifies and generalizes previously discussed problems and algorithms
