About Paul Spoerry

I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.

I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.

I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.

    Isn't that more of parrellism than concurrency?

    +Mohammed Al Sahaf I see it as multi-threading.

    Its also called synchronization of clocks in distributed systems

    LOL I love you plussers, these are some of the best/geekiest comments!

    That said….

    +Mohammed Al Sahaf Parallelism is the principle that large problems can often be divided into smaller ones, which are then solved concurrently  ("in parallel") so I think both would be accurate.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_computing

    +Paul Basehore I don't think it's multi-threading since "Multithreading is the ability of a program or an operating system process to manage its use by more than one user at a time and to even manage multiple requests by the same user without having to have multiple copies of the programming running in the computer."  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multithreading_(computer_architecture)  Though you could argue that the guy reading it is multithreading because he has multiple copies of the book open!

    That's what I meant, +Paul Spoerry. Multiple books = multiple threads. The reader clearly has multiple cpu cores.
