Line 52: The article currently blurs the distinction between parallelism and concurrency, which is very unfortunate as the distinction is widely agreed upon in computer science and very useful from an educational and engineering point of view. Without this distinction, it becomes very difficult to concisely and precisely talk about things like realizing concurrency in the presence or absence of different forms of parallelism. I would be glad if the article could be modified to take this into account; however, I would leave this change to someone who is more familiar with the article. To reinforce my point, consider the following: The term `hardware parallelism' does not exist in the form of `hardware concurrency', while things like the pi-calculus are consistently referred to as designed for `concurrent' systems (the Wikipedia article itself follows this notion). == Merge with [[Concurrency (computer science)]]? == Should this page be merged with [[Concurrency (computer science)]]? --[[User:FishSpeaker\|FishSpeaker]] ([[User talk:FishSpeaker\|talk]]) 03:15, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
