<p>In <a href="page.php?w=computing">computing</a>, <b>multitasking</b> is the <a href="page.php?w=concurrent_computing">concurrent</a> execution of multiple tasks (also known as <a href="page.php?w=Process_%28computing%29">processes</a>) over a certain period of time.  New tasks can interrupt already started ones before they finish, instead of waiting for them to end. As a result, a computer executes segments of multiple tasks in an interleaved manner, while the tasks share common processing resources such as <a href="page.php?w=central_processing_unit">central processing unit</a>s</p><p>
