  2. Futures and promises - Wikipedia

    A timeout can also be specified on the wait using the wait_for() or wait_until() member functions to avoid indefinite blocking. If the future arose from a call to std::async then a blocking wait (without a timeout) may cause synchronous invocation of the function to compute the result on the waiting thread.

  3. Async/await - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Async/await

    A function can also hold a promise object directly and do other processing first (including starting other asynchronous tasks), delaying awaiting the promise until its result is needed. Functions with promises also have promise aggregation methods that allow the program to await multiple promises at once or in some special pattern (such as C#'s ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)

    Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability with the use of significant indentation. [33] Python is dynamically type-checked and garbage-collected. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured (particularly procedural), object-oriented and functional ...

    A sample thread pool (green boxes) with waiting tasks (blue) and completed tasks (yellow) In computer programming, a thread pool is a software design pattern for achieving concurrency of execution in a computer program.

    Twisted was used in the Omegle one-on-one chat service [7] until it was replaced with gevent for performance reasons. [8] The Apple Calendar Server uses Twisted, [9] as do some internal projects of NASA. Conch, an implementation of the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol; The original version of social networking and microblogging site Jaiku used Twisted.

  7. Callback (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    In computer programming, a callback is a function that is stored as data (a reference) and designed to be called by another function – often back to the original abstraction layer. A function that accepts a callback parameter may be designed to call back before returning to its caller which is known as synchronous or blocking.

    Then, they are joined again and leave the system. Thus, parallel programming requires synchronization as all the parallel processes wait for several other processes to occur. Producer-Consumer: In a producer-consumer relationship, the consumer process is dependent on the producer process until the necessary data has been produced.

  9. Semaphore (programming) - Wikipedia

    The V operation is the inverse: it makes a resource available again after the process has finished using it. One important property of semaphore S is that its value cannot be changed except by using the V and P operations. A simple way to understand wait (P) and signal (V) operations is: wait: Decrements the value of the semaphore variable by 1.
