Conjoined; associate; concomitant; existing or happening at the same time.
A term applied to a computer operation in which two or more processes (programs) have access to the microprocessor’s time and are therefore carried out more or less at the same time. Because a microprocessor can work with much smaller units of time than people can perceive, concurrent processes appear to be occurring simultaneously but in reality are not.
A license that may be installed on a network. The number of user licenses purchased dictates how many users may access the program simultaneously. A non-concurrent license must be purchased on a per user basis and installed on individual computers
simultaneous; occurring at the same time or together
Happening at the same time as something else.
Things being executed simultaneously. An example of this would be analysis happening in parallel with prototyping.
When a tape system is equipped with two drives and two ports, the drives can operate simultaneously from independent ports on the computer, thus appearing to be two independent tape systems.
In multiprogramming, processing of operations rotates between different programs, giving the illusion of simultaneous processing.
(adj.) The technique of organizing numerous steps so that they happen in parallel rather than one after another (serially). Concurrent engineering, for example, involves all members of the design process working simultaneously in close coordination with each other rather than each member waiting for other members to finish with their components of the design.
