Concurrency

property of systems in which several computational processes are executing at the same time, and potentially interacting with each other

Parallelism

computation in which many calculations are carried out simultaneously, operating on the principle that large problems can often be divided into smaller ones, which are then solved concurrently (i.e. "in parallel")
