NanoThreads v11
NanoThreads allows the programmer to simulate concurrent processing
using generators as tasks, which are registered with a scheduler.
While the scheduler is running, a NanoThread can be:
- paused
- resumed
- ended (terminate and call all registered exit functions)
- killed (terminate and do not call any registered exit functions)
- preempted to the top of the execution queue
New in v11:
A NanoThread task can now yield control using 'yield
nanothreads.UNBLOCK', which performs the next iteration of the task in
a separate, OS level thread. This allows the scheduler to keep running
other tasks, while the nanothread is, for example, performing CPU
blocking IO, or calling some time consuming function.
