Performance
Concurrency
Concurrency is the number of tasks that can be in progress during the same period. In CI it commonly means simultaneous jobs, while available processors and scheduling determine how much work actually executes in parallel.
Also known as: concurrent jobs
Why it matters
The number of active jobs affects capacity requirements and feedback under load.
Practical example
A ten-job matrix may remain partly queued if only four runner slots are available.
