Sequentially. This is accomplished by a line in /etc/cron.d like this:
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
and `run-parts` is a bash script which goes through in a loop (with
logic to avoid certain filenames and to implement random delay, but not
much else).
I think good practice is to only drop short-running scripts in that
directory; longer jobs should get their own /etc/cron.d entries.
