ParameterDetailsaffinityinteger that describes the set of processors on which the process is allowed to run. For example, on a 8 processor system if you want your process to be executed only on processors 3 and 4 than you choose affinity like this : 00001100 which equals 12 The processor affinity...

A few notes that are already mentioned in the official docs here and here: If an object has a parent, it has to be in the same thread as the parent, i.e. it cannot be moved to a new thread, nor can you set a parent to an object if the parent and the object live in different threads When an ob...

This section provides an overview of what pthreads is, and why a developer might want to use it. It should also mention any large subjects within pthreads, and link out to the related topics. Since the Documentation for pthreads is new, you may need to create initial versions of those related to...

MFC supports worker threads and gui threads (threads with message loops). See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/975t8ks0.aspx for more documentation.

The new chrome v8 engine is partially ES7 compliant. So if we add "use strict"; to top of our file (typescript do that when transpiles typescript) we have to make sure that any functions that are on the global scope are actually assigned to the global scope. so we should use self.funct...

When writing multi-threaded applications, one of the most common problems experienced are race conditions. So we document the How do you detect them? and How do you handle them?

When creating a performant and data-driven application, it can be very helpful to complete time-intensive tasks in an asynchronous manner and to have multiple tasks running concurrently. This topic will introduce the concept of using ThreadPoolExecutors to complete multiple ansynchronous tasks concu...

Also known as arrow macros, threading macros convert nested function calls into a linear flow of function calls.

Working with threads might need some synchronization techniques if the threads interact. In this topic, you can find the different structures which are provided by the standard library to solve these issues.

Examples for some multithreaded algorithms. parallel before a loop means each iteration of the loop are independant from each other and can be run in parallel. spawn is to indicate creation of a new thread. sync is to synchronize all created threads. Arrays/matrix are indexed 1 to n in exam...

In C11 there is a standard thread library, <threads.h>, but no known compiler that yet implements it. Thus, to use multithreading in C you must use platform specific implementations such as the POSIX threads library (often referred to as pthreads) using the pthread.h header. thrd_t // Im...

Node.js has been designed to be single threaded. So for all practical purposes, applications that launch with Node will run on a single thread. However, Node.js itself runs multi-threaded. I/O operations and the like will run from a thread pool. Further will any instance of a node application run o...
