Concurrent processing has been around since the 1960s. In those formative years, we already had systems that permitted multiple processes to share a single processor. These systems are more clearly defined as pseudo-parallel systems because it only appeared that multiple processes were being simultaneously executed. Our computers today still operate in this manner. The difference between the 1960s and current day is that our computers can have multiple CPUs, each with multiple cores, which better supports concurrency.
