Uno/Spec/Threading-Architecture

Type: Specification State: draft

Feature

Concretely specify when to use which thread related construct.

API

• When implementing fast APIs, use threads for accessing slow APIs. Do notify about completion asynchronously.
• Be conservative, only program thread related / aware where necessary.
• Implement public APIs etc. as wide as the parameters (e.g. always return appropriate purpose objects in case of OBI specialization)
• Implement public APIs thread-transparent.
• Only program thread-safe, if parallelism is required (e.g. for interrupting a method call).
• Encapsulate thread-affinity.
• Enable concurrent access to inter-thread objects (avoiding bottlenecks).
