Parallel computing is not the same as asynchronous programming

I'm concerned that asynchronous programming redirects to this page. Asynchronous programming/computing is not the same as parallel computing. For example, JavaScript engines are asynchronous, but single-threaded (less web workers), meaning that tasks do not actually run in parallel, though they are still asynchronous. To my knowledge, that is how it works, and that is how NodeJS works, browsers, and Nginx. They are all single-threaded, yet asynchronous, and so not parallel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A601:64C:9B01:7083:DDD:19AF:B6B7 (talk) 03:40, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK, but properly written asynchronous single thread code should still run in parallel if the system has that ability. There is the problem of properly debugging asynchronous code on single thread systems. Some bugs might not be found, or take longer to find. Gah4 (talk) 17:13, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
There is an article about Asynchrony (computer programming), but asynchronous programming redirects to parallel computing instead. Jarble (talk) 18:38, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It does seem strange, but Asynchrony (computer programming) is pretty short, and doesn't say all that much. I was actually looking for an article describing asynchronous I/O, which is a little different than general asynchronous programming. There is enough overlap between parallel computing and asynchronous computing that it probably isn't so bad to redirect here. Gah4 (talk) 16:58, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified 6 external links on Parallel computing. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
