parallel computing: bit-level, instruction-level, data, and task parallelism. Parallelism has long been employed in high-performance computing, but has...

In computing, a context switch is the process of storing the state of a process or thread, so that it can be restored and resume execution at a later point...

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...

as of March 2010, with compute capability 2.x and higher, blocks may contain up to 1024 threads. The threads in the same thread block run on the same stream...

preemptive multitasking. Threads often depend on the kernel's thread scheduler to preempt a busy thread and resume another thread; fibers yield themselves...

In UNIX, "kernel threads" have two threads, one is the core thread, one is the user thread. Light-weight process Thread (computing) Matt Dillon's post...

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

In computing, a spurious wakeup occurs when a thread wakes up from waiting on a condition variable and finds that the condition is still unsatisfied....

A code cave is a series of unused bytes in a process's memory. The code cave inside a process's memory is often a reference to a section that has capacity...

virtual thread is a thread that is managed by a runtime library or virtual machine (VM) and made to resemble "real" operating system thread to code executing...

Micro-threads for multi-core and many-cores processors is a mechanism to hide memory latency similar to multi-threading architectures. However, it is...
