concurrency (related, but can include interleaved execution rather than true simultaneous execution)
Antônimos
serial execution (operations happen one after another)
|
sequential processing (processing follows a fixed sequence rather than occurring simultaneously)
Temas
computing
|software
|performance
Definição
when a computer does several pieces of work at the same time
