Noun
Context #1 | Noun

programming concept

A greenlet is a lightweight, cooperative multitasking construct used in programming to allow for concurrency. It enables the execution of multiple tasks simultaneously while sharing the same thread. Greenlet allows for switching between tasks without the overhead of threading or process management.

Synonyms

coroutine, lightweight thread, task

Examples of usage

  • The program uses greenlets to manage concurrent tasks efficiently.
  • In the web application, greenlets handle multiple incoming requests seamlessly.
  • Greenlets simplify asynchronous programming in Python.
  • The library implements greenlets for better performance in I/O operations.

Word origin

The term 'greenlet' was coined in the context of Python programming, specifically related to lightweight concurrency. It derives from the name 'green thread', which is a type of scheduling mechanism used in programming to execute multiple threads in user space without relying on kernel threads. The concept was introduced with the greenlet package, developed by the programmer 'A. David' Beazley in the early 2000s. Greenlets were designed to provide a simpler alternative to traditional threading models, allowing for easier management of asynchronous tasks. The name reflects the lightweight nature of these constructs, emphasizing their efficiency and reduced resource consumption compared to typical thread implementations. Since its introduction, the concept of greenlets has influenced the development of other concurrency frameworks in Python, such as gevent and async/await patterns.
