The solution to this problem, in a synchronous system, is to start
6464
additional ((thread))s of control. A thread is another running program
65-
whose execution the operating system may interleave with other
66-
programs—since most modern computers contain multiple processors,
67-
multiple threads may even run at the same time, on different
68-
processor. A second thread could start the second request, and then
69-
both threads wait for their results to come back, after which they
70-
resynchronize to combine their results.
