  2. 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.

  3. Multithreading (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

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

    Multiple threads can interfere with each other when sharing hardware resources such as caches or translation lookaside buffers (TLBs). As a result, execution times of a single thread are not improved and can be degraded, even when only one thread is executing, due to lower frequencies or additional pipeline stages that are necessary to accommodate thread-switching hardware.

  4. Work stealing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_stealing

    A stalling instruction is one that temporarily halts execution of its thread. The processor pops a thread off the bottom of its deque and starts executing that thread. If its deque is empty, it starts work stealing, explained below. An instruction may cause a thread to die. The behavior in this case is the same as for an instruction that stalls.

  5. C++11 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C++11

    The C++11 thread library also includes futures and promises for passing asynchronous results between threads, and std::packaged_task for wrapping up a function call that can generate such an asynchronous result. The futures proposal was criticized because it lacks a way to combine futures and check for the completion of one promise inside a set ...

  6. Thread pool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_pool

    Deciding the optimal thread pool size is crucial to optimize performance. One benefit of a thread pool over creating a new thread for each task is that thread creation and destruction overhead is restricted to the initial creation of the pool, which may result in better performance and better system stability. Creating and destroying a thread ...

    Threads is a social media, microblogging service operated by Meta Platforms. Threads requires an Instagram account to use the service and features integration between ...

  8. Thread (online communication) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_(online_communication)

    These groups are called a conversation, topic thread, or simply a thread. A discussion forum, e-mail client or news client is said to have a "conversation view", "threaded topics" or a "threaded mode" if messages can be grouped in this manner. [1] An email thread is also sometimes called an email chain. Threads can be displayed in a variety of ...

  9. Semaphore (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semaphore_(programming)

    In computer science, a semaphore is a variable or abstract data type used to control access to a common resource by multiple threads and avoid critical section problems in a concurrent system such as a multitasking operating system. Semaphores are a type of synchronization primitive. A trivial semaphore is a plain variable that is changed (for ...
