	Concurrency	Parallelism
Basic	Running multiple computations at the same time	Running multiple computations simultaneously
Achieved through	Interleaving operation	Using multiple CPU's
Benefits	An increasing amount of work accomplished at a time	Multiple CPU's for operating multiple processes
Make use of	Context switching	Multiple CPU's for operating multiple processes
Processing units required	Probably single	Multiple
Example	Running multiple application at the same time	Running web crawler on a cluster
