  2. List of concurrent and parallel programming languages

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_concurrent_and...

    A concurrent programming language is defined as one which uses the concept of simultaneously executing processes or threads of execution as a means of structuring a program. A parallel language is able to express programs that are executable on more than one processor.

  3. Concurrent computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_computing

    In this way, multiple processes are part-way through execution at a single instant, but only one process is being executed at that instant. [citation needed] Concurrent computations may be executed in parallel, [3] [6] for example, by assigning each process to a separate processor or processor core, or distributing a computation across a network.

  4. Multiprocessing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiprocessing

    Multiprocessing is the use of two or more central processing units (CPUs) within a single computer system. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The term also refers to the ability of a system to support more than one processor or the ability to allocate tasks between them.

  5. Process (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_(computing)

    However, in multiprocessing systems many processes may run off of, or share, the same reentrant program at the same location in memory, but each process is said to own its own image of the program. Processes are often called "tasks" in embedded operating systems. The sense of "process" (or task) is "something that takes up time", as opposed to ...

  6. Multithreading (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multithreading_(computer...

    A process with two threads of execution, running on a single processor . In computer architecture, multithreading is the ability of a central processing unit (CPU) (or a single core in a multi-core processor) to provide multiple threads of execution.

  7. Parallel computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_computing

    Parallel computing is a type of computation in which many calculations or processes are carried out simultaneously. [1] Large problems can often be divided into smaller ones, which can then be solved at the same time.

  8. Concurrency (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrency_(computer_science)

    The Concurrency Representation Theorem in the actor model provides a fairly general way to represent concurrent systems that are closed in the sense that they do not receive communications from outside. (Other concurrency systems, e.g., process calculi can be modeled in the actor model using a two-phase commit protocol. [13])

  9. Task parallelism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_parallelism

    Task parallelism focuses on distributing tasks—concurrently performed by processes or threads—across different processors. In contrast to data parallelism which involves running the same task on different components of data, task parallelism is distinguished by running many different tasks at the same time on the same data.
