Hardware Concurrency
Hardware concurrency refers to the ability of a system to perform multiple tasks simultaneously due to the presence of multiple processing units, such as multiple processor cores or parallel computing architectures. Hardware concurrency enables true parallelism and can significantly improve performance for parallelizable tasks.
These levels of concurrency are essential for understanding how different aspects of software can be optimized for concurrent execution, leading to faster and more efficient performance.
What are the Four Levels of Concurrency?
Concurrency in software can be understood at different levels, each representing a different aspect of how multiple tasks can be executed concurrently. The four main levels of concurrency are:
