  2. Message passing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_passing

    In computer science, message passing is a technique for invoking behavior (i.e., running a program) on a computer.The invoking program sends a message to a process (which may be an actor or object) and relies on that process and its supporting infrastructure to then select and run some appropriate code.

  3. Futures and promises - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futures_and_promises

    In C++11 a std::future provides a read-only view. The value is set directly by using a std::promise, or set to the result of a function call using std::packaged_task or std::async. In the Dojo Toolkit's Deferred API as of version 1.5, a consumer-only promise object represents a read-only view. [7]

  4. Asynchronous method invocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_method_invocation

    In multithreaded computer programming, asynchronous method invocation (AMI), also known as asynchronous method calls or the asynchronous pattern is a design pattern in which the call site is not blocked while waiting for the called code to finish. Instead, the calling thread is notified when the reply arrives. Polling for a reply is an ...

  5. Multiple dispatch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_dispatch

    The data from these papers is summarized in the following table, where the dispatch ratio DR is the average number of methods per generic function; the choice ratio CR is the mean of the square of the number of methods (to better measure the frequency of functions with a large number of methods); [2] [3] and the degree of specialization DoS is ...

  6. Async/await - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Async/await

    Swift added support for async/await with version 5.5 in 2021, adding 2 new keywords async and await. This was released alongside a concrete implementation of the Actor model with the actor keyword [ 12 ] which uses async/await to mediate access to each actor from outside.

  7. Callback (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callback_(computer...

    In the following C# code, method Helper.Method uses parameter callback as a blocking callback. Helper.Method is called with Log which acts as a callback function. When run, the following is written to the console: "Callback was: Hello world".

  8. Asynchronous I/O - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_I/O

    In computer science, asynchronous I/O (also non-sequential I/O) is a form of input/output processing that permits other processing to continue before the I/O operation has finished. A name used for asynchronous I/O in the Windows API is overlapped I/O .

  9. Lazy evaluation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_evaluation

    In programming language theory, lazy evaluation, or call-by-need, [1] is an evaluation strategy which delays the evaluation of an expression until its value is needed (non-strict evaluation) and which avoids repeated evaluations (by the use of sharing). [2] [3] The benefits of lazy evaluation include:
