Rather than having explicit condition variables, each monitor (i.e., object) is equipped with a single wait queue in addition to its entrance queue. All waiting is done on this single wait queue and all notify and notifyAll operations apply to this queue. [7] This approach has been adopted in other languages, for example C#.
[8] [9] [10] In ALGOL 68, the Linux kernel, [11] and in some English textbooks, the V and P operations are called, respectively, up and down. In software engineering practice, they are often called signal and wait, [12] release and acquire [12] (standard Java library), [13] or post and pend. Some texts call them vacate and procure to match the ...
[8] Python added support for async/await with version 3.5 in 2015 [9] adding 2 new keywords, async and await. TypeScript added support for async/await with version 1.7 in 2015. [10] JavaScript added support for async/await in 2017 as part of ECMAScript 2017 JavaScript edition.
In software design and engineering, the observer pattern is a software design pattern in which an object, named the subject, maintains a list of its dependents, called observers, and notifies them automatically of any state changes, usually by calling one of their methods.
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.
Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is a general-purpose programming language intended to let programmers write once, run anywhere (), [16] meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need to recompile.

Kqueue is a scalable event notification interface introduced in FreeBSD 4.1 in July 2000, [1] [2] also supported in NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD, and macOS. Kqueue was originally authored in 2000 by Jonathan Lemon, [1] [2] then involved with the FreeBSD Core Team. Kqueue makes it possible for software like nginx to solve the c10k problem.
A wait-for graph in computer science is a directed graph used for deadlock detection in operating systems and relational database systems.. In computer science, a system that allows concurrent operation of multiple processes and locking of resources and which does not provide mechanisms to avoid or prevent deadlock must support a mechanism to detect deadlocks and an algorithm for recovering ...
