I'm working with the UltraSpark 40 machine. Some code works in true parallel. At the same time, some code works in multitasking mode. What is the name for both code types working together, i.e. the combination of parallel and multitasking? Thank you sincerely in advance.

    Multi-threading, multi-core. The multi-threading is what you refer to as multi-tasking, and the multi-core aspect is responsible for the parallelism. The "chip that must not be named" does something similar.
