Concurrent Computing

What is it?

  • Computations executing during overlapping time periods
  • A computation can make progress without waiting for the other computations to complete

Parallel vs. Concurrent

  • Parallel: multiple components executing at exactly the same time
  • Concurrent: multiple components executing during overlapping time periods

Communication between components

  • Message Passing
  • The Actor Model

Concurrency in the Kitchen

  • Factor a receipe into components that can be executed at the same time
  • Chefs as Actors
