nonconcurrent
Happening at different times
Nonconcurrent describes things that do not happen at the same time or run in parallel.
In legal contexts, nonconcurrent sentences are served consecutively rather than simultaneously: The judge ordered nonconcurrent terms, meaning he'd serve fifteen years before the second sentence began.
In computing, nonconcurrent processes execute sequentially rather than simultaneously.
