happening at the same time
Happening or existing at the same time as something else.
Tipar de utilizare:
[event/thing] is concurrent with [event/thing]; concurrent [event/activity/use]

simultaneous (Slightly more formal; very close in meaning, often interchangeable in most contexts.)
|
coinciding (Emphasizes two things happening at the same time, often by chance.)

2
handling multiple tasks at once
Used about computer systems or services that let many tasks or users work at the same time.
Tipar de utilizare:
concurrent [users/processes/sessions/requests]
Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes think "concurrent users" means all registered users. It actually means the number of users using the system at the same time. It is also sometimes confused with "parallel" in programming, which can be a narrower idea of tasks truly running at the same moment on different cores.
Sinonime
parallel (In computing, often suggests tasks truly running at the same time, sometimes on different processors; "concurrent" can also include tasks that are interleaved rather than strictly parallel.)
Antonime
sequential (Describes tasks that happen one after another rather than at the same time.)

legal: running at same time
Used in law to say that a punishment, power, or right happens at the same time as another one, not after it.
Tipar de utilizare:
concurrent [sentence/jurisdiction/powers]
Greșeală frecventă:
Learners often confuse "concurrent" with "consecutive" when talking about prison sentences. "Concurrent" means served at the same time; "consecutive" means one after another and usually results in more total time.
Sinonime
overlapping (General word for things covering the same period; "concurrent" is the precise legal term, especially for sentences and jurisdictions.)
Antonime
consecutive (In legal contexts, describes sentences or terms that follow one after another, not at the same time.)
