In computer science, a lock or mutex (from mutual exclusion) is a synchronization primitive that prevents state from being modified or accessed by multiple...

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...

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...

In computer programming, thread-local storage (TLS) is a memory management method that uses static or global memory local to a thread. The concept allows...

In computer science nano-threads are highly optimized lightweight threads designed for use on shared memory multiprocessors (such as SMPs). The Nano-threads...

In computer science, garbage collection (GC) is a form of automatic memory management. The garbage collector attempts to reclaim memory that was allocated...
