    This article lists concurrent and parallel programming languages, categorizing them by a defining paradigm.Concurrent and parallel programming languages involve multiple timelines.

  3. Thread (computing) - Wikipedia

    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. [1]

  4. Multithreading (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

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

    If the multithreading scheme replicates all of the software-visible state, including privileged control registers and TLBs, then it enables virtual machines to be created for each thread. This allows each thread to run its own operating system on the same processor.

  5. Concurrent computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_computing

    This is a property of a system—whether a program, computer, or a network—where there is a separate execution point or "thread of control" for each process. A concurrent system is one where a computation can advance without waiting for all other computations to complete. [1] Concurrent computing is a form of modular programming.

  6. Context switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context_switch

    Then the operating system calls the switch() routine to first save the general-purpose user registers of A onto A's kernel stack, then it saves A's current kernel register values into the PCB of A, restores kernel registers from the PCB of process B, and switches context, that is, changes kernel stack pointer to point to the kernel stack of ...

  7. Thread pool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_pool

    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.

  8. Concurrency (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrency_(computer_science)

    For example, Lee and Sangiovanni-Vincentelli have demonstrated that a so-called "tagged-signal" model can be used to provide a common framework for defining the denotational semantics of a variety of different models of concurrency, [11] while Nielsen, Sassone, and Winskel have demonstrated that category theory can be used to provide a similar ...

  9. Green thread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_thread

    In computer programming, a green thread is a thread that is scheduled by a runtime library or virtual machine (VM) instead of natively by the underlying operating system (OS). Green threads emulate multithreaded environments without relying on any native OS abilities, and they are managed in user space instead of kernel space, enabling them to ...
