	In [[computer science]], a '''sequential algorithm''' or '''serial algorithm''' is an [[algorithm]] that is executed sequentially – once through, from start to finish, without other processing executing – as opposed to [[concurrent computing\|concurrently]] or in [[parallel computing\|parallel]]. The term is primarily used to contrast with ''[[concurrent algorithm]]'' or ''[[parallel algorithm]];'' most standard computer algorithms are sequential algorithms, and not specifically identified as such, as sequentialness is a background assumption. Concurrency and parallelism are in general distinct concepts, but they often overlap – many [[distributed algorithm]]s are both concurrent and parallel – and thus "sequential" is used to contrast with both, without distinguishing which one. If these need to be distinguished, the opposing pairs sequential/concurrent and serial/parallel may be used.
