Concurrency refers to the ability of a program to manage multiple tasks at once, improving performance and responsiveness. It encompasses different models like threading, asynchronous tasks, and multiprocessing, each offering unique benefits and trade-offs. In Python, threads and asynchronous tasks facilitate concurrency on a single processor, while multiprocessing allows for true parallelism by utilizing multiple CPU cores. Understanding concurrency is crucial for optimizing programs, especially those that are I/O-bound or CPU-bound. Efficient concurrency management can significantly enhance a program’s performance […]
