  2. Synchronization (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    Figure 1: Three processes accessing a shared resource (critical section) simultaneously.. Thread synchronization is defined as a mechanism which ensures that two or more concurrent processes or threads do not simultaneously execute some particular program segment known as critical section.

  3. Concurrent computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_computing

    Julia—"concurrent programming primitives: Tasks, async-wait, Channels." [15] JavaScript—via web workers, in a browser environment, promises, and callbacks. JoCaml—concurrent and distributed channel based, extension of OCaml, implements the join-calculus of processes; Join Java—concurrent, based on Java language

  4. Async/await - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Async/await

    First, the async keyword indicates to C# that the method is asynchronous, meaning that it may use an arbitrary number of await expressions and will bind the result to a promise. [1]: 165–168 The return type, Task<T>, is C#'s analogue to the concept of a promise, and here is indicated to have a result value of type int.

  5. Task parallelism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_parallelism

    Task parallelism (also known as function parallelism and control parallelism) is a form of parallelization of computer code across multiple processors in parallel computing environments. Task parallelism focuses on distributing tasks—concurrently performed by processes or threads—across different processors.

    This was a spurious wakeup, some other thread occurred // first and caused the condition to become false again, and we must // wait again. wait (m, cv); // Temporarily prevent any other thread on any core from doing // operations on m or cv. // release(m) // Atomically release lock "m" so other // // code using this concurrent data // // can ...

  7. Computer multitasking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_multitasking

    New tasks can interrupt already started ones before they finish, instead of waiting for them to end. As a result, a computer executes segments of multiple tasks in an interleaved manner, while the tasks share common processing resources such as central processing units (CPUs) and main memory. Multitasking automatically interrupts the running ...

  8. wait (system call) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wait_(system_call)

    In computer operating systems, a process (or task) may wait for another process to complete its execution. In most systems, a parent process can create an independently executing child process . The parent process may then issue a wait system call , which suspends the execution of the parent process while the child executes.

  9. Task (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    A task is performed on a set of targets on a specific schedule. A unit of computation. In a parallel job, two or more concurrent tasks work together through message passing and shared memory. Although it is common to allocate one task per physical or logical processor, the terms "task" and "processor" are not interchangeable.
