Advantages
- Increased application throughput – parallel execution of a concurrent program allows the number of tasks completed in certain time period to increase.
- High responsiveness for input/output – input/output-intensive applications mostly wait for input or output operations to complete. Concurrent programming allows the time that would be spent waiting to be used for another task.
- More appropriate program structure – some problems and problem domains are well-suited to representation as concurrent tasks or processes.
