event_handler(){ auto handle=spawn_background_task(); handle.wait(); // no benefit }Aside: Non-Blocking vs Lock-free In lots of cases, short-term blocking (e.g. with short-lived std::mutex locks) is OK. ⇒ for those those cases, Non-Blocking means Not waiting for a lengthy task to run.Aside: Non-Blocking vs Lock-free In lots of cases, short-term blocking (e.g. with short-lived std::mutex locks) is OK. ⇒ for those but one thread at any point, that one thread will complete its task. ⇒ for those cases, you need Lock-free allocators, message queues, etc.How do we move work off the current thread?How do we move work off

integrity. Efficient and safe concurrent updates to shared variables. Enable the implementation of lock-free data structures, leading to improved performance and scalability. Useful in various applications in data-parallel algorithms, statistics collection, and optimization processes. Useful for: ● Lock-free data structures ● Parallel reductions (OpenMP) ● Optimization algorithms ● Statistics collectionProposed
