Parallel computing solution: A parallel computing solution involves executing multiple tasks simultaneously by dividing them among different processors or threads.

Concurrency: Concurrency refers to executing multiple tasks independently at the same time, regardless of the order in which they are completed.

Multithreading: Multithreading is a technique where different parts of a program can run concurrently within a single process, allowing for better utilization of resources and potentially speeding up execution.
