Concurrent computing is a form of computing in which several computations are executing during overlapping time periods -- concurrently -- instead of sequentially (one completing before the next starts).
Description
This is a property of a system –- this may be an individual program, a computer, or a network –- and there is a separate execution point or "thread of control" for each computation ("process").
A concurrent system is one where a computation can make progress without waiting for all other computations to complete –- where more than one computation can make progress at "the same time".
