Consider the sequential execution of the list of statements, s(i), and what can now be observed as the computation at statement, j:

Process Orchestration - sequential and conditional execution of process flow.

Hill and Marty emphasize also that methods of speeding sequential execution are still needed, even for multicore machines.

With a four stage pipeline, the rate at which instructions are executed is four times that of sequential execution.

If a parallel program has a valid sequential execution it is said to follow a relaxed sequential execution model.

It is easier to debug a program that has a valid sequential execution.

CPUs that do not use sequential execution with a program counter are extremely rare.

For example, the programmer can handle the usual case with sequential execution and branch only on detecting unusual cases.

Logic symbols represent sequential or parallel execution of functions.

For example, the XOR swap algorithm requires sequential execution of three instructions.
