Summary : Apple's Grand Central Dispatch library

License : ASL 2.0
Description : Grand Central Dispatch (GCD or libdispatch) provides
: comprehensive support for concurrent code execution on
: multicore hardware.
:
: libdispatch is currently available on all Darwin platforms.
: This project aims to make a modern version of libdispatch
: available on all other Swift platforms. To do this, we will
: implement as much of the portable subset of the API as
: possible, using the existing open source C implementation.
:
: libdispatch on Darwin is a combination of logic in the xnu
: kernel alongside the user-space Library. The kernel has the
: most information available to balance workload across the
: entire system. As a first step, however, we believe it is
: useful to bring up the basic functionality of the library
: using user-space pthread primitives on Linux. Eventually, a
: Linux kernel module could be developed to support more
: informed thread scheduling.
