Light-Weight Execution Agents
by Torvald Riegel
Excerpt:
This paper is an initial attempt at dening light-weight execution agents (EAs), which can be used to run more than one thread of execution but provide weaker forward progress guarantees and/or fewer features than OS threads (see Section 2). From this perspective, threads would be a rather heavy-weigth variant among several kinds of EAs. This work is based on or has been motivated by prior discussions in SG1. It also is at an early stage, so I will conclude by discussing some of the open questions in Section 3.
