Overview#

Concurrency, in modern Programming, means multiple computations are happening at the same time.

Concurrency is the ability of different parts or units of a Application, algorithm, or problem to be executed out-of-order or in partial order, without affecting the final outcome.

Concurrency may be used via a Message Passing Interface using a

• Message queue
• Shared Memory (via an Inter-Process Communication)

time slicing is when thread switches are performed which makes it appear like multiple processes are being executed simultaneously on the same CPU.
