A system of concurrently processing programs submitted by
different users is called Multi-programming.
In a multiprogramming system there are
one or more programs loaded in main memory which are ready to execute. Only one
program at a time is able to get the CPU for executing its instructions while
all the others are waiting their turn. The main idea of multiprogramming is to
maximize the use of CPU time.

multiprogramming. Processor's time which is shared among multiple users
simultaneously is termed as time-sharing.
