Parallel Program<br />

• A Parallel Program, like a concurrent program, has multiple<br />

threads of program execution.<br />

• The key difference between concurrent and parallel is<br />

◾In concurrent programs, only one execution agent is assumed to<br />

be active. Thus, while there are many execution sites, only one will<br />

be active at any time.<br />

◾In parallel programs, multiple execution agents are assumed to be<br />

active simultaneously, so many execution sites will be active at any<br />

time.<br />
