concurrency, parallelism |
Here considered software terminology.
Concurrency is about dealing with a lot of things at once Parallelism is about doing a lot of things at once
Concurrency is when two or more tasks can start, run, and complete in overlapping time periods. (I don't get it fully - as I got it, concurrency is like one cashier simultaneously handle two or more queues).
One processor multiplexed - that's concurrent execution.
Parallelism is when tasks literally run at the same time, e.g., on a multicore processor.
