PhD Seminar • Systems and Networking • How do Computers Procrastinate Politely? A Review of Patterns Underlying Concurrency — Part 1

Please note: This PhD seminar will be given online.

Thierry Delisle, PhD candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisor: Professor Peter Buhr

What is the polite way for computer programs to procrastinate?

Postponing work politely means not preventing the progress of others, which requires taking turns letting others make eventual progress. When this happens quickly, there is the illusion of simultaneity and possibly real simultaneity.
