Concurrent Programming

[DESCRIPTION]

Dao has native support for concurrent programming on multicore computers. The basic conc
urrent computational unit in Dao is a tasklet which consists of a virtual machine process
(context) and a future value (handle). A tasklet is much cheaper than a native thread, be
cause only active tasklets are attached to native threads for execution.

Dao provides several features for concurrent programming such as: multi-threading module 
mt with parallelized code section methods, asynchronous function call, asynchronous class
and communication channels. Support for conventional multi-threaded programming is all su
pported by an external module.
