Hi, 
In the context of the (oversimplified) example: 
Time is virtual and "parallel devs" is an algorithm defined in [1] by Alex Chung Hen Chow and Bernard P. Zeigler in 1994.
It defines how to run several submodels in parallel and obtain the same results as running everything sequentially, but faster.
