Context: app using CoreData some lightweight migration successfully performed in the past (reached the 4th iteration of the model version) client wants a new feature created a 5th model version...

I have a few logical processes implemented in the same class. A class instance get a generator for each process, and run() advances said generators. In my case generators don't end. How would you ...

I found an answer to the question here. But I don't understand some ideas in the answer. For instance, lightweight process is said to share its logical address space with other processes. What does...

This is fairly simple application which creates a lightweight process (thread) with clone() call. #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <sched.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/types.h&gt...

I am looking into designing a concurrent language with support for lightweight processes ("green threads") in the vein of Erlang using LLVM as a native code generator. Lightweight processes are all...

What do the letters B. E. A. and M. stand for? I recall seeing an explanation of the acronym "BEAM", but I have not managed to find it again. It comes up in error codes: ➜ gentoo iex Erlang/OTP...

Is this sentence correct: "All threads in Linux are LWP but not all LWP are threads". Actually, I try to understand thread realisation in Linux. pthread_create call clone syscall, but in man clone,...

Erlang is known for being able to support MANY lightweight processes; it can do this because these are not processes in the traditional sense, or even threads like in P-threads, but threads entirel...

I was reading this informative page on Green Thread (Wikipedia) and I wonder: what other programming systems rely on "green processes" beside Erlang? Edit: " Green Thread != Green Process " Green...

I've been reading the "Real World Haskell" book, the chapter on concurrency and parallelism. My question is as follows: Since Haskell threads are really just multiple "virtual" threads inside one...

After reading about Erlang's lighweight processes I was pretty much sure that they were "green threads". Until I read that there are differences between green threads and Erlang's processes. But I ...
