- ilovecaching 8y agoIn computer science, concurrency refers to the ability of different parts or units of a program, algorithm, or problem to be executed out-of-order or in partial order, without affecting the final outcome. Parallel computing is a type of computation in which many calculations or the execution of processes are carried out simultaneously.
