Yes, but "parallel" is also used in CS to specify multiple things happening at the same time including IO. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Parallel_computing https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Parallel_computing Quote: "Parallel computing is a type of computation where many calculations or the execution of processes are carried out simultaneously." https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Parallel_communication https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Parallel_communication Quote: "In data transmission, parallel communication is a method of conveying multiple binary digits (bits) simultaneously. It contrasts with serial communication, which conveys only a single bit at a time; this distinction is one way of characterizing a communications link."
