'''Temporal multithreading''' is one of the two main forms of [[Multithreading (computer architecture)|multithreading]] that can be implemented on computer processor hardware, the other being [[simultaneous multithreading]].  The distinguishing difference between the two forms is the maximum number of concurrent [[Thread (computer science)|threads]] that can execute in any given [[Pipeline (computing)|pipeline]] stage in a given [[Instruction cycle|cycle]].  In temporal multithreading the number is one, while in simultaneous multithreading the number is greater than one. Some authors use the term '''super-threading''' synonymously.<ref>[https://arstechnica.com/articles/paedia/cpu/hyperthreading.ars/3 Superthreading with a multithreaded processor]</ref>
