Enhance Your Learning with Threads and Concurrency Flash Cards for quick learning
A sequence of instructions that can be executed independently by a computer processor.
The concurrent execution of more than one sequential set of instructions, allowing multiple threads to run in parallel.
The coordination of multiple threads to ensure that they access shared resources in a mutually exclusive manner.
A situation where two or more threads are unable to proceed because each is waiting for a resource held by the other.
A situation where the behavior of a program depends on the relative timing of events, leading to unpredictable results.
The property of a program or system in which multiple threads can execute in a shared environment without causing unexpected or incorrect results.
A collection of threads that are created and managed by a system to efficiently execute multiple tasks.
The ability of different parts of a program, algorithm, or problem to be executed out-of-order or in partial order, without affecting the final outcome.
A situation where two or more threads access shared data or resources concurrently, leading to unexpected or incorrect results.
The process of synchronizing the execution of multiple threads to ensure that they cooperate and complete their tasks in a desired order.
A mechanism used to notify or signal other threads about a particular event or condition, allowing them to take appropriate actions.
The process of creating a new thread within a program, allowing it to execute concurrently with other threads.
The process of ending the execution of a thread, either by completing its task or by being explicitly terminated.
The process of waiting for a thread to complete its execution before proceeding with the rest of the program.
The process of interrupting the execution of a thread, causing it to stop or pause its current task and handle the interruption.
A value assigned to a thread that determines its relative importance or scheduling preference compared to other threads.
A mechanism used by a thread to voluntarily give up its current execution and allow other threads to run.
A method used by a thread to temporarily suspend its execution for a specified amount of time.
Mechanisms used to control access to shared resources by allowing only one thread to hold a lock at a time.
Objects used to coordinate the access to shared resources by multiple threads, ensuring mutual exclusion and synchronization.
Variables used to control access to shared resources by multiple threads, allowing a specified number of threads to access the resource simultaneously.
Objects used to provide mutual exclusion and synchronization by allowing only one thread to acquire a lock at a time.
The property of an operation or set of operations that appears to be indivisible or instantaneous from the perspective of other threads.
The property of a program or system in which threads are able to execute and make progress, avoiding situations like deadlock or livelock.
A situation where a thread is unable to make progress because it is consistently denied access to a shared resource by other threads.
The property of a program or system in which threads are given equal opportunities to access shared resources, preventing starvation.
The process of identifying and detecting situations where threads are deadlocked, unable to proceed due to circular dependencies.
The process of designing and implementing systems or algorithms in a way that avoids the occurrence of thread deadlocks.
The process of dynamically allocating resources to threads in a way that avoids the possibility of thread deadlocks.
