<h1 class="faldoc_title">Module Threading </h1>
<p class="faldoc_brief">Multithreading Support Module. </p>
<p class="faldoc_text"><p class="faldoc_text">This module provides support for real hardware-supported parallel execution of concurrent code under the same application hood; this is commonly called "Multithreading". </p>
<p class="faldoc_text">By linking this module in the virtual machine through a load directive, or through the reflexive compiler module, the VM gets prepared to launch system threads and perform multithreading operations. </p>
<p class="faldoc_text"> See the related page <a href="./page_threading_model.html">Falcon multithreading model.</a> for a description on the general aspects and design of the multithreading provided by this module. </p>
<p class="faldoc_text"> The <a href="./page_threading_warnings.html">Multithreading safety</a> page gives an important insight about overall security of multithreading applications (and specifically about MT security in Falcon). </p>
<p class="faldoc_text"> The <a href="./page_threading_stop.html">Threading module and VM Interruption protocol</a> page explains about the conformance of this module with the VM Interruption protocol. </p>
