Threading Documentation

Introduction

Threading is a fundamental concept in computer programming where multiple instructions are interleaved to enable parallelism and improve performance. It's crucial for tasks like multi-threading, data processing, and image processing.

Key Concepts

• Threads: Lightweight units of execution within a process.
• Synchronization: Mechanisms to coordinate access to shared resources (mutexes, semaphores).
• Concurrency: The ability to execute multiple tasks seemingly at the same time.
• Benefits: Improved throughput, responsiveness, and resource utilization.

Example Code

Let's create a simple example using a worker thread:

                    
                        function worker(id) {
                            print("Worker " + id + " started");
                            for (let i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
                                print("Processing iteration: " + i);
                            }
                        }

                        worker(1);
                        worker(2);
                        worker(3);
