Hi, iam a bit curious about the plans for concurrency in Julia. As far as I understand the documentation, there is no real and easy support for Multithreading atm. The Task API provides an Interface for batch execution on a single OS Thread while Distrubtion starts new processes and setup communica…

Hey @fraxx001 , I don’t have much knowledge on the current development of concurrency in Julia. But I’ll share what I do know and hopefully someone can add to this. About 10 months ago some of the creators of the Julia Language did a reddit ama where Stefan Karpinski gave the following comment on th…

That PR has been superseded by many other PRs that implement its functionality, and all of those have already been merged. The PARTR functionality therefore already exists in Julia, but there’s no idiomatic way to turn it on; you can do so manually by doing task.sticky = false and then scheduling ta…

Just to add, I believe this macro was shared in Slack as an easy way to try out the functionality: macro par(expr) thunk = esc(:(()->($expr))) quote local task = Task($thunk) task.sticky = false schedule(task) task end end

Thanks a lot for the answers. I will have a look into the PARTR implementation. The Julia core dev team does a great job by implementing so many features so quickly and stable. But it’s a bit hard to keep track of the current state of work and expected changes without searching through github ticket…

Yes, it’s hard to keep track of things, even for people who participate in development :slight_smile: I’ve been following the threading work with a lot of interest and there’s been many changes merged recently to make the runtime and standard library more thread safe, and to improve performance. Th…
