'''Concurrent computing''' is a form of [[computing]] in which several [[computation]]s are executed ''[[Concurrency (computer science)|concurrently]]''—during overlapping time periods—instead of ''
This is a property of a system—whether a [[computer program|program]], [[computer]], or a [[computer network|network]]—where there is a separate execution point or "thread of control" for each process. A ''concurrent system'' is one where a computation can advance without waiting for all other computations to complete.<ref>''Operating System Concepts'' 9th edition, Abraham Silberschatz.
