Overlapping execution in computing
the way a computer system works on several tasks at the same time or during overlapping time periods
Padrão de uso:
[system/software] supports/uses concurrency; concurrency in [program/system]
Erro comum:
Do not assume concurrency always means parallelism; concurrent work may be interleaved on one processor rather than truly simultaneous.
Sinônimos
overlapping execution (descriptive and close in technical meaning)
|
multitasking (more general; often used for users, operating systems, or work habits)
|
parallelism (related, but usually means actual simultaneous execution, often on multiple cores)
Antônimos
sequential execution (tasks run one after another rather than overlapping)
|
serial execution (technical term for operations processed in a single sequence)
|
single-threaded execution (one thread of control, often with little or no concurrency)

Exemplos

Happening at same time
the situation in which two or more things happen or exist at the same time
Padrão de uso:
the concurrency of [things]; concurrency between [things]
Erro comum:
In everyday English, overlap or happening at the same time is usually more natural than concurrency.
Sinônimos
simultaneity (formal and very close in meaning)
|
co-occurrence (emphasizes that things occur together, often without implying a cause)
|
overlap (more common and practical; may refer to partial shared time)
Antônimos
sequence (events happen in order rather than at the same time)
|
succession (one thing follows another)
|
separation (things are kept apart in time or occurrence)
Colocações
concurrency of events
|concurrency of factors
|concurrency of risks
|temporal concurrency
|apparent concurrency
|degree of concurrency
|concurrency between events
|concurrency with another process

Agreement of views or decisions
agreement between people, ideas, or decisions, though agreement or concurrence is usually more natural
Padrão de uso:
concurrency of [views/opinions]; concurrency between [positions/decisions]
Erro comum:
This sense is rare in modern English; use agreement or concurrence in ordinary writing.
Sinônimos
concurrence (more common formal word for agreement)
|
agreement (plain and much more common)
|
accord (formal; suggests harmony or consistency)
Antônimos
disagreement (lack of shared opinion or decision)
|
dissent (open disagreement, especially with a decision or majority view)
|
divergence (movement or difference away from a shared view)
Colocações
concurrency of views
|concurrency of opinion
|concurrency of judgment
|broad concurrency
|substantial concurrency
|concurrency between positions

Exemplos
- Despite their different methods, the two reviews showed a strong concurrency of judgment.
