The difference between distributed computing and concurrent programming is a common area of confusion as there is a significant amount of overlap between the two when you set out to accomplish ...

I just recently finished reading Introduction to Concurrency in Programming Languages, one of the entries in CRC’s incredibly active Computational Science Series (“Incredibly active?” Yes: the series ...

Memory models offer the formal frameworks that define how operations on memory are executed in environments with concurrent processes. By establishing rules for the ordering and visibility of memory ...

Transactional memory systems represent a paradigm shift in concurrent programming by abstracting low-level lock management and enabling sequences of operations to be executed as atomic transactions.
