correspondence (emphasizes matching features or relationships)

analogy (often used for a comparison that explains something)
Từ trái nghĩa

repeated matching sentence structure
using the same grammar pattern in several parts of a sentence or text

simultaneous computer processing
when a computer does several pieces of work at the same time
Mẫu sử dụng:
exploit/increase [parallelism]; [type/degree] of parallelism
Lỗi thường gặp:
Parallelism is not exactly the same as concurrency: concurrency can mean tasks are interleaved, while parallelism usually means they actually run at the same time.
Từ đồng nghĩa
parallel processing (emphasizes the method of processing at the same time)
|
simultaneous execution (descriptive technical phrase)
|
concurrency (related, but can include interleaved execution rather than true simultaneous execution)
Từ trái nghĩa
serial execution (operations happen one after another)
|
sequential processing (processing follows a fixed sequence rather than occurring simultaneously)

state of lines being parallel

fixed phrase
technical
same operation on data parts
doing the same computer operation on many pieces of data at once
