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

  3. Multithreading (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

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

    This type of multithreading is known as block, cooperative or coarse-grained multithreading. The goal of multithreading hardware support is to allow quick switching between a blocked thread and another thread ready to run. Switching from one thread to another means the hardware switches from using one register set to another.

  4. 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]

  5. Cooperative multitasking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative_multitasking

    In this scheme, the process scheduler of an operating system is known as a cooperative scheduler whose role is limited to starting the processes and letting them return control back to it voluntarily. [1] [2] This is related to the asynchronous programming approach.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Simultaneous and heterogeneous multithreading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simultaneous_and...

    Simultaneous and heterogeneous multithreading (SHMT) is a software framework that takes advantage of heterogeneous computing systems that contain a mixture of central processing units (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs), and special purpose machine learning hardware, for example Tensor Processing Units (TPUs). [1] [2]

  8. Concurrent computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_computing

    ParaSail—object-oriented, parallel, free of pointers, race conditions; PHPmultithreading support with parallel extension implementing message passing inspired from Go [16] Pict—essentially an executable implementation of Milner's π-calculus; Python — uses thread-based parallelism and process-based parallelism [17]

  9. Computer multitasking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_multitasking

    This is done for the purpose of general system stability and data integrity, as well as data security. In general, memory access management is a responsibility of the operating system kernel, in combination with hardware mechanisms that provide supporting functionalities, such as a memory management unit (MMU). If a process attempts to access a ...
