  2. Fork–join model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forkjoin_model

    Forkjoin model. An illustration of the forkjoin paradigm, in which three regions of the program permit parallel execution of the variously colored blocks. Sequential execution is displayed on the top, while its equivalent forkjoin execution is on the bottom. In parallel computing, the forkjoin model is a way of setting up and ...

  3. Work stealing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_stealing

    The idea of work stealing goes back to the implementation of the Multilisp programming language and work on parallel functional programming languages in the 1980s. [2] It is employed in the scheduler for the Cilk programming language, [3] the Java fork/join framework, [4] the .NET Task Parallel Library, [5] and the Rust Tokio runtime. [6] [7]

  4. Structured concurrency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_concurrency

    The forkjoin model from the 1960s, embodied by multiprocessing tools like OpenMP, is an early example of a system ensuring all threads have completed before exit. However, Smith argues that this model is not true structured concurrency as the programming language is unaware of the joining behavior, and is thus unable to enforce safety. [1]

  5. Dining philosophers problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dining_philosophers_problem

    Problem statement. Five philosophers dine together at the same table. Each philosopher has their own plate at the table. There is a fork between each plate. The dish served is a kind of spaghetti which has to be eaten with two forks. Each philosopher can only alternately think and eat. Moreover, a philosopher can only eat their spaghetti when ...

  6. Java concurrency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_concurrency

    Java concurrency. The Java programming language and the Java virtual machine (JVM) is designed to support concurrent programming. All execution takes place in the context of threads. Objects and resources can be accessed by many separate threads. Each thread has its own path of execution, but can potentially access any object in the program.

  7. Fork–join queue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forkjoin_queue

    A forkjoin queueing node. In queueing theory, a discipline within the mathematical theory of probability, a forkjoin queue is a queue where incoming jobs are split on arrival for service by numerous servers and joined before departure. [1] The model is often used for parallel computations [2] or systems where products need to be obtained ...

  8. Synchronization (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    Synchronization (computer science) In computer science, synchronization is the task of coordinating multiple processes to join up or handshake at a certain point, in order to reach an agreement or commit to a certain sequence of action.

  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. This is a property of a system—whether a program, computer, or a network —where there is a separate execution point or "thread of ...
