  2. Fork–join model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork–join_model

    Implementations of the fork–join model will typically fork tasks, fibers or lightweight threads, not operating-system-level "heavyweight" threads or processes, and use a thread pool to execute these tasks: the fork primitive allows the programmer to specify potential parallelism, which the implementation then maps onto actual parallel execution. [1]

  3. fork (system call) - Wikipedia

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

    The POSIX-compatibility component of VM/CMS (OpenExtensions) provides a very limited implementation of fork, in which the parent is suspended while the child executes, and the child and the parent share the same address space. [19] This is essentially a vfork labelled as a fork. (This applies to the CMS guest operating system only; other VM ...

  4. Child process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_process

    There are two major procedures for creating a child process: the fork system call (preferred in Unix-like systems and the POSIX standard) and the spawn (preferred in the modern (NT) kernel of Microsoft Windows, as well as in some historical operating systems).

  5. Work stealing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_stealing

    Work stealing is designed for a "strict" fork–join model of parallel computation, which means that a computation can be viewed as a directed acyclic graph with a single source (start of computation) and a single sink (end of computation). Each node in this graph represents either a fork or a join.

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

  7. Fork–exec - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork–exec

    fork() is the name of the system call that the parent process uses to "divide" itself ("fork") into two identical processes. After calling fork(), the created child process is an exact copy of the parent except for the return value of the fork() call. This includes open files, register state, and all memory allocations, which includes the ...

  9. Concurrent computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_computing

    Concurrent computing is a form of computing in which several computations are executed concurrently—during overlapping time periods—instead of sequentially—with one completing before the next starts.
