A spread of the 3-dimensional projective space \(PG(3,q)\) over the Galois field with \(q\) elements is a set of \(q^2+1\) lines which partition the points of the space. A parallelism of \(PG(3,q)\) is a collection of \(q^2+q+1\) spreads which partition the set of lines of the space. Using computer aid and a concrete representation of the Galois field of order \(81\), the author studies the existence of particular parallelisms for the case \(q=3\). The main results are as follows: (1) There are no regular parallelisms of \(PG(3,3)\). (2) There are at least 54 projectively inequivalent uniform parallelisms of \(PG(3,3)\) consisting of subregular spreads of index one. The existence of regular parallelisms of \(PG(3,q)\), \(q>3\) odd, remains an open problem. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0871.00034].
