  2. Multithreading (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

    Only when the data for the previous thread had arrived, would the previous thread be placed back on the list of ready-to-run threads. For example: Cycle i: instruction j from thread A is issued. Cycle i + 1: instruction j + 1 from thread A is issued. Cycle i + 2: instruction j + 2 from thread A is issued, which is a load instruction that misses ...

    Thread 1: Started. Thread 1: Will be sleeping for 5 seconds. Thread 2: Will be sleeping for 4 seconds. Thread 4: Started. Thread 4: Will be sleeping for 1 seconds. In main: All threads are created. Thread 3: Will be sleeping for 4 seconds. Thread 4: Ended. Thread 0: Ended. In main: Thread 0 has ended. Thread 2: Ended. Thread 3: Ended. Thread 1 ...

  4. Compare-and-swap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compare-and-swap

    A general solution to this is to use a double-length CAS (DCAS). E.g., on a 32-bit system, a 64-bit CAS can be used. The second half is used to hold a counter. The compare part of the operation compares the previously read value of the pointer and the counter, with the current pointer and counter. If they match, the swap occurs - the new value ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_(computing)

    A process with two threads of execution, running on one processor Program vs. Process vs. Thread Scheduling, Preemption, Context Switching. In computer science, a thread of execution is the smallest sequence of programmed instructions that can be managed independently by a scheduler, which is typically a part of the operating system.

  6. Single instruction, multiple data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_instruction...

    Single instruction, multiple data. Single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) is a type of parallel processing in Flynn's taxonomy.SIMD can be internal (part of the hardware design) and it can be directly accessible through an instruction set architecture (ISA), but it should not be confused with an ISA.

  7. CPython - Wikipedia

    To help allow more parallelism, an improvement was released in October 2023 to allow a separate GIL per subinterpreter in a single Python process and have been described as "threads with opt-in sharing". [3] [4] After several debates, a project was launched in 2023 to propose making the GIL optional from version 3.13 of Python, [5] which is ...

  8. Task parallelism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_parallelism

    Task parallelism emphasizes the distributed (parallelized) nature of the processing (i.e. threads), as opposed to the data (data parallelism). Most real programs fall somewhere on a continuum between task parallelism and data parallelism. [3] Thread-level parallelism (TLP) is the parallelism inherent in an application that runs multiple threads ...

  9. Process (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_(computing)

    In computing, a process is the instance of a computer program that is being executed by one or many threads. There are many different process models, some of which are light weight, but almost all processes (even entire virtual machines) are rooted in an operating system (OS) process which comprises the program code, assigned system resources ...
