Concurrency

Concurrency refers to the ability to have two or more threads of execution.


logical concurrency
refers to concurrency between multiple threads that do not execute simultaneously. Logical concurrency exists between a driver's base level contexts and its interrupt context and is the only type of concurrency on a uniprocessor configuration.

physical concurrency
refers to concurrency between multiple threads executing simultaneously on different processors in a multiprocessing environment.
