VPython Multithreading

Claimed by Philip Bale

Multithreading is the ability to execute multiple processes (or threads) concurrently. As this relates to physics, it allows us advanced and complex computations to be performed more efficiently. The asynchronous potential of multithreaded programs supports smoother graphical renderings and more accurate user input as well.

Here we discuss mulithreading and VPython as it relates to advanced physics computations
