| decision points visually | diamonds on a flowchart |
| decision points benefits | knowledge of these points and when they occur increases efficiency |
| logical conditions | the (boolean) statements that lead to alterations in the program’s linearity |
| concurrency | when a program is able to make progress on more than 1 task at any given point in time (i.e. one task does not have to be finished before the other one is continued) |
| single threaded programs | always non-concurrent. When there is one order of events happening at any given point in time |
| parallel processing | when concurrency is achieved by a program by running the code across multiple cores, instead of switching between the threats multiple times per second in the same core |
| parallelism | when tasks are split into subtasks and are running simultaneously across different cores |
| concurrency and parallelism link | not mutually exclusive, but one does not need to be true for the other to be true. Concurrent events are not always ran in parallel (eg single core systems) |
