  2. Thread safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_safety

    Software libraries can provide certain thread-safety guarantees. [5] For example, concurrent reads might be guaranteed to be thread-safe, but concurrent writes might not be. Whether a program using such a library is thread-safe depends on whether it uses the library in a manner consistent with those guarantees.

  3. Global interpreter lock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Interpreter_Lock

    Schematic representation of how threads work under GIL. Green - thread holding GIL, red - blocked threads. A global interpreter lock (GIL) is a mechanism used in computer-language interpreters to synchronize the execution of threads so that only one native thread (per process) can execute basic operations (such as memory allocation and reference counting) at a time. [1]

  4. ThreadSafe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThreadSafe

    ThreadSafe is integrated with the Eclipse software development environment and with the SonarQube software quality management platform. Contextual information is provided within the development environment to assist the developer with the investigation and resolution of concurrency issues, directly in the code.

  5. Safety and liveness properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_and_liveness_properties

    The correspondence between the kind of property (safety vs liveness) with kind of proof (invariance vs well-foundedness) was a strong argument that the decomposition of properties into safety and liveness (as opposed to some other partitioning) was a useful one—knowing the type of property to be proved dictated the type of proof that is required.

  6. Shell (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    In computing, a shell is a computer program that exposes an operating system's services to a human user or other programs. In general, operating system shells use either a command-line interface (CLI) or graphical user interface (GUI), depending on a computer's role and particular operation. It is named a shell because it is the outermost layer ...

  7. Double-ended queue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-ended_queue

    A separate deque with threads to be executed is maintained for each processor. To execute the next thread, the processor gets the first element from the deque (using the "remove first element" deque operation). If the current thread forks, it is put back to the front of the deque ("insert element at front") and a new thread is executed.

  8. 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]

  9. Multithreading (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

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

    The thread scheduler might be implemented totally in software, totally in hardware, or as a hardware/software combination. Another area of research is what type of events should cause a thread switch: cache misses, inter-thread communication, DMA completion, etc.
