Concurrency measures how many data-analysis queries or processes a system can handle simultaneously without performance degradation. It helps answer whether users can keep viewing data while processing continues and whether capacity matches expected or future load. section 7.1
Assess concurrency alongside related performance measures:
- Latency measures how quickly initial results appear after input is complete. section 7.1
- Throughput measures how much data the system processes within a given time. section 7.1
- Response time measures total task completion time, including computation and result retrieval. section 7.1
- Availability, scalability, reliability, and bandwidth reveal whether concurrent use remains practical as demand and data volumes change. section 7.1
