{wiki=Category:Concurrent_algorithms}
Concurrent algorithms are algorithms designed to be executed concurrently, meaning they can run simultaneously in a system that supports parallel processing or multitasking. This type of algorithm is particularly useful in environments where multiple processes or threads are operating simultaneously, including multi-core processors and distributed systems. \#\#\# Key Features of Concurrent Algorithms: 1. **Parallelism**: They leverage multiple processing units to perform computations at the same time, improving performance and efficiency.
