 \section{Introduction}
+\CFA~\cite{Moss18,Cforall} is a modern, polymorphic, non-object-oriented\footnote{
+\CFA has object-oriented features, such as constructors, destructors, virtuals and simple trait/interface inheritance.
+% Go interfaces, Rust traits, Swift Protocols, Haskell Type Classes and Java Interfaces.
+% "Trait inheritance" works for me. "Interface inheritance" might also be a good choice, and distinguish clearly from implementation inheritance.
+% You'll want to be a little bit careful with terms like "structural" and "nominal" inheritance as well. CFA has structural inheritance (I think Go as well) -- it's inferred based on the structure of the code. Java, Rust, and Haskell (not sure about Swift) have nominal inheritance, where there needs to be a specific statement that "this type inherits from this type".
+This paper discusses the design philosophy and implementation of advanced language-level control-flow and concurrent/parallel features in \CFA~\cite{Moss18,Cforall} and its runtime, which is written entirely in \CFA.
+\CFA is a modern, polymorphic, non-object-oriented\footnote{
+\CFA has features often associated with object-oriented programming languages, such as constructors, destructors, virtuals and simple inheritance.
 However, functions \emph{cannot} be nested in structures, so there is no lexical binding between a structure and set of functions (member/method) implemented by an implicit \lstinline@this@ (receiver) parameter.},
 backwards-compatible extension of the C programming language.
+In many ways, \CFA is to C as Scala~\cite{Scala} is to Java, providing a \emph{research vehicle} for new typing and control-flow capabilities on top of a highly popular programming language\footnote{
+The TIOBE index~\cite{TIOBE} for December 2019 ranks the top five \emph{popular} programming languages as Java 17\%, C 16\%, Python 10\%, and \CC 6\%, \Csharp 5\% = 54\%, and over the past 30 years, C has always ranked either first or second in popularity.}
+allowing immediate dissemination.
+This paper discusses the design philosophy and implementation of advanced language-level control-flow and concurrent/parallel features in \CFA and its runtime, which is written entirely in \CFA.
+The \CFA control-flow framework extends ISO \Celeven~\cite{C11} with new call/return and concurrent/parallel control-flow.
+% The call/return extensions retain state between callee and caller versus losing the callee's state on return;
+% the concurrency extensions allow high-level management of threads.
+Call/return control-flow with argument/parameter passing appeared in the first programming languages.
+Over the past 50 years, call/return has been augmented with features like static/dynamic call, exceptions (multi-level return) and generators/coroutines (retain state between calls).
+While \CFA has mechanisms for dynamic call (algebraic effects) and exceptions\footnote{
+\CFA exception handling will be presented in a separate paper.
+The key feature that dovetails with this paper is nonlocal exceptions allowing exceptions to be raised across stacks, with synchronous exceptions raised among coroutines and asynchronous exceptions raised among threads, similar to that in \uC~\cite[\S~5]{uC++}}, this work only discusses retaining state between calls via generators/coroutines.
+\newterm{Coroutining} was introduced by Conway~\cite{Conway63} (1963), discussed by Knuth~\cite[\S~1.4.2]{Knuth73V1}, implemented in Simula67~\cite{Simula67}, formalized by Marlin~\cite{Marlin80}, and is now popular and appears in old and new programming languages: CLU~\cite{CLU}, \Csharp~\cite{Csharp}, Ruby~\cite{Ruby}, Python~\cite{Python}, JavaScript~\cite{JavaScript}, Lua~\cite{Lua}, \CCtwenty~\cite{C++20Coroutine19}.
+Coroutining is sequential execution requiring direct handoff among coroutines, \ie only the programmer is controlling execution order.
+If coroutines transfer to an internal event-engine for scheduling the next coroutines, the program transitions into the realm of concurrency~\cite[\S~3]{Buhr05a}.
+Coroutines are only a stepping stone towards concurrency where the commonality is that coroutines and threads retain state between calls.
+\Celeven/\CCeleven define concurrency~\cite[\S~7.26]{C11}, but it is largely wrappers for a subset of the pthreads library~\cite{Pthreads}.\footnote{Pthreads concurrency is based on simple thread fork/join in a function and mutex/condition locks, which is low-level and error-prone}
+Interestingly, almost a decade after the \Celeven standard, neither gcc-9, clang-9 nor msvc-19 (most recent versions) support the \Celeven include @threads.h@, indicating no interest in the C11 concurrency approach (possibly because of the recent effort to add concurrency to \CC).
+While the \Celeven standard does not state a threading model, the historical association with pthreads suggests implementations would adopt kernel-level threading (1:1)~\cite{ThreadModel}, as for \CC.
+In many ways, \CFA is to C as Scala~\cite{Scala} is to Java, providing a \emph{research vehicle} for new typing and control-flow capabilities on top of a highly popular programming language allowing immediate dissemination.
+Within the \CFA framework, new control-flow features are created from scratch because ISO \Celeven defines only a subset of the \CFA extensions, where the overlapping features are concurrency~\cite[\S~7.26]{C11}.
+However, \Celeven concurrency is largely wrappers for a subset of the pthreads library~\cite{Butenhof97,Pthreads}, and \Celeven and pthreads concurrency is simple, based on thread fork/join in a function and mutex/condition locks, which is low-level and error-prone;
+no high-level language concurrency features are defined.
+Interestingly, almost a decade after publication of the \Celeven standard, neither gcc-8, clang-9 nor msvc-19 (most recent versions) support the \Celeven include @threads.h@, indicating little interest in the C11 concurrency approach (possibly because the effort to add concurrency to \CC).
+Finally, while the \Celeven standard does not state a threading model, the historical association with pthreads suggests implementations would adopt kernel-level threading (1:1)~\cite{ThreadModel}.
 In contrast, there has been a renewed interest during the past decade in user-level (M:N, green) threading in old and new programming languages.
 As multi-core hardware became available in the 1980/90s, both user and kernel threading were examined.
 Kernel threading was chosen, largely because of its simplicity and fit with the simpler operating systems and hardware architectures at the time, which gave it a performance advantage~\cite{Drepper03}.
 Libraries like pthreads were developed for C, and the Solaris operating-system switched from user (JDK 1.1~\cite{JDK1.1}) to kernel threads.
 As a result, many current languages implementations adopt the 1:1 kernel-threading model, like Java (Scala), Objective-C~\cite{obj-c-book}, \CCeleven~\cite{C11}, C\#~\cite{Csharp} and Rust~\cite{Rust}, with a variety of presentation mechanisms.
 From 2000 onwards, several language implementations have championed the M:N user-threading model, like Go~\cite{Go}, Erlang~\cite{Erlang}, Haskell~\cite{Haskell}, D~\cite{D}, and \uC~\cite{uC++,uC++book}, including putting green threads back into Java~\cite{Quasar}, and many user-threading libraries have appeared~\cite{Qthreads,MPC,Marcel}.
 The main argument for user-level threading is that it is lighter weight than kernel threading (locking and context switching do not cross the kernel boundary), so there is less restriction on programming styles that encourages large numbers of threads performing medium-sized work to facilitate load balancing by the runtime~\cite{Verch12}.

 As well, user-threading facilitates a simpler concurrency approach using thread objects that leverage sequential patterns versus events with call-backs~\cite{Adya02,vonBehren03}.
 Finally, performant user-threading implementations (both time and space) meet or exceed direct kernel-threading implementations, while achieving the programming advantages of high concurrency levels and safety.
 A further effort over the past two decades is the development of language memory models to deal with the conflict between language features and compiler/hardware optimizations, \eg some language features are unsafe in the presence of aggressive sequential optimizations~\cite{Buhr95a,Boehm05}.
+A further effort over the past two decades is the development of language memory models to deal with the conflict between language features and compiler/hardware optimizations, \ie some language features are unsafe in the presence of aggressive sequential optimizations~\cite{Buhr95a,Boehm05}.
 The consequence is that a language must provide sufficient tools to program around safety issues, as inline and library code is all sequential to the compiler.
 One solution is low-level qualifiers and functions (\eg @volatile@ and atomics) allowing \emph{programmers} to explicitly write safe (race-free~\cite{Boehm12}) programs.
+A safer solution is high-level language constructs so the \emph{compiler} knows the concurrency boundaries (where mutual exclusion and synchronization are acquired/released) and provide implicit safety at and across these boundaries.
+While the optimization problem is best known with respect to concurrency, it applies to other complex control-flow, like exceptions and coroutines.
+As well, language solutions allow matching the language paradigm with the approach, \eg matching the functional paradigm with data-flow programming or the imperative paradigm with thread programming.
+Finally, it is important for a language to provide safety over performance \emph{as the default}, allowing careful reduction of safety (unsafe code) for performance when necessary.
+Two concurrency violations of this philosophy are \emph{spurious wakeup} (random wakeup~\cite[\S~9]{Buhr05a}) and \emph{barging}\footnote{
+Barging is competitive succession instead of direct handoff, \ie after a lock is released both arriving and preexisting waiter threads compete to acquire the lock.
+Hence, an arriving thread can temporally \emph{barge} ahead of threads already waiting for an event, which can repeat indefinitely leading to starvation of waiter threads.

+The key feature that dovetails with this paper is nonlocal exceptions allowing exceptions to be raised across stacks, with synchronous exceptions raised among coroutines and asynchronous exceptions raised among threads, similar to that in \uC~\cite[\S~5]{uC++}

+Most augmented traditional (Fortran 18~\cite{Fortran18}, Cobol 14~\cite{Cobol14}, Ada 12~\cite{Ada12}, Java 11~\cite{Java11}) and new languages (Go~\cite{Go}, Rust~\cite{Rust}, and D~\cite{D}), except \CC, diverge from C with different syntax and semantics, only interoperate indirectly with C, and are not systems languages, for those with managed memory.
+As a result, there is a significant learning curve to move to these languages, and C legacy-code must be rewritten.
+While \CC, like \CFA, takes an evolutionary approach to extend C, \CC's constantly growing complex and interdependent features-set (\eg objects, inheritance, templates, etc.) mean idiomatic \CC code is difficult to use from C, and C programmers must expend significant effort learning \CC.

+\section{Fundamental Execution Properties}
+\label{s:FundamentalExecutionProperties}
+The features in a programming language should be composed from a set of fundamental properties rather than an ad hoc collection chosen by the designers.
+To this end, the control-flow features created for \CFA are based on the fundamental properties of any language with function-stack control-flow (see also \uC~\cite[pp.~140-142]{uC++}).
+The fundamental properties are execution state, thread, and mutual-exclusion/synchronization (MES).
+These independent properties can be used alone, in pairs, or in triplets to compose different language features, forming a compositional hierarchy where the most advanced feature has all the properties (state/thread/MES).
+While it is possible for a language to only support the most advanced feature~\cite{Hermes90}, this unnecessarily complicates and makes inefficient solutions to certain classes of problems.
+As is shown, each of the (non-rejected) composed features solves a particular set of problems, and hence, has a defensible position in a programming language.
+If a compositional feature is missing, a programmer has too few/many fundamental properties resulting in a complex and/or is inefficient solution.
+In detail, the fundamental properties are:
+\begin{description}[leftmargin=\parindent,topsep=3pt,parsep=0pt]
+\item[\newterm{execution state}:]
+is the state information needed by a control-flow feature to initialize, manage compute data and execution location(s), and de-initialize.
+State is retained in fixed-sized aggregate structures and dynamic-sized stack(s), often allocated in the heap(s) managed by the runtime system.
+The lifetime of the state varies with the control-flow feature, where longer life-time and dynamic size provide greater power but also increase usage complexity and cost.
+Control-flow transfers among execution states occurs in multiple ways, such as function call, context switch, asynchronous await, etc.
+Because the programming language determines what constitutes an execution state, implicitly manages this state, and defines movement mechanisms among states, execution state is an elementary property of the semantics of a programming language.
+% An execution-state is related to the notion of a process continuation \cite{Hieb90}.
+\item[\newterm{threading}:]
+is execution of code that occurs independently of other execution, \ie the execution resulting from a thread is sequential.
+Multiple threads provide \emph{concurrent execution};
+concurrent execution becomes parallel when run on multiple processing units (hyper-threading, cores, sockets).
+There must be language mechanisms to create, block/unblock, and join with a thread.
+\item[\newterm{MES}:]
+is the concurrency mechanisms to perform an action without interruption and establish timing relationships among multiple threads.
+These two properties are independent, \ie mutual exclusion cannot provide synchronization and vice versa without introducing additional threads~\cite[\S~4]{Buhr05a}.
+Limiting MES, \eg no access to shared data, results in contrived solutions and inefficiency on multi-core von Neumann computers where shared memory is a foundational aspect of its design.
+\end{description}
+These properties are fundamental because they cannot be built from existing language features, \eg a basic programming language like C99~\cite{C99} cannot create new control-flow features, concurrency, or provide MES using atomic hardware mechanisms.
+\subsection{Execution Properties}
+Table~\ref{t:ExecutionPropertyComposition} shows how the three fundamental execution properties: state, thread, and mutual exclusion compose a hierarchy of control-flow features needed in a programming language.
+(When doing case analysis, not all combinations are meaningful.)
+Note, basic von Neumann execution requires at least one thread and an execution state providing some form of call stack.
+For table entries missing these minimal components, the property is borrowed from the invoker (caller).
+Case 1 is a function that borrows storage for its state (stack frame/activation) and a thread from its invoker and retains this state across \emph{callees}, \ie function local-variables are retained on the stack across calls.
+Case 2 is case 1 with access to shared state so callers are restricted during update (mutual exclusion) and scheduling for other threads (synchronization).
+Case 3 is a stateful function supporting resume/suspend along with call/return to retain state across \emph{callers}, but has some restrictions because the function's state is stackless.
+Note, stackless functions still borrow the caller's stack and thread, where the stack is used to preserve state across its callees.
+Case 4 is cases 2 and 3 with protection to shared state for stackless functions.
+Cases 5 and 6 are the same as 3 and 4 but only the thread is borrowed as the function state is stackful, so resume/suspend is a context switch from the caller's to the function's stack.
+Cases 7 and 8 are rejected because a function that is given a new thread must have its own stack where the thread begins and stack frames are stored for calls, \ie there is no stack to borrow.
+Cases 9 and 10 are rejected because a thread with a fixed state (no stack) cannot accept calls, make calls, block, or be preempted, all of which require an unknown amount of additional dynamic state.
+Hence, once started, this kind of thread must execute to completion, \ie computation only, which severely restricts runtime management.
+Cases 11 and 12 have a stackful thread with and without safe access to shared state.
+Execution properties increase the cost of creation and execution along with complexity of usage.

+\end{tabular}
+\end{table}
+Given the execution-properties taxonomy, programmers can now answer three basic questions: is state necessary across calls and how much, is a separate thread necessary, is access to shared state necessary.
+The answers define the optimal language feature need for implementing a programming problem.
+The next sections discusses how \CFA fills in the table with language features, while other programming languages may only provide a subset of the table.
+\subsection{Design Requirements}
+The following design requirements largely stem from building \CFA on top of C.
+\begin{itemize}[topsep=3pt,parsep=0pt]
+\item
+All communication must be statically type checkable for early detection of errors and efficient code generation.
+This requirement is consistent with the fact that C is a statically-typed programming-language.
+\item
+Direct interaction among language features must be possible allowing any feature to be selected without restricting comm\-unication.
+For example, many concurrent languages do not provide direct communication (calls) among threads, \ie threads only communicate indirectly through monitors, channels, messages, and/or futures.
+Indirect communication increases the number of objects, consuming more resources, and require additional synchronization and possibly data transfer.
+\item
+All communication is performed using function calls, \ie data is transmitted from argument to parameter and results are returned from function calls.
+Alternative forms of communication, such as call-backs, message passing, channels, or communication ports, step outside of C's normal form of communication.
+\item
+All stateful features must follow the same declaration scopes and lifetimes as other language data.
+For C that means at program startup, during block and function activation, and on demand using dynamic allocation.
+\item
+MES must be available implicitly in language constructs as well as explicitly for specialized requirements, because requiring programmers to build MES using low-level locks often leads to incorrect programs.
+Furthermore, reducing synchronization scope by encapsulating it within language constructs further reduces errors in concurrent programs.
+\item
+Both synchronous and asynchronous communication are needed.
+However, we believe the best way to provide asynchrony, such as call-buffering/chaining and/or returning futures~\cite{multilisp}, is building it from expressive synchronous features.
+\item
+Synchronization must be able to control the service order of requests including prioritizing selection from different kinds of outstanding requests, and postponing a request for an unspecified time while continuing to accept new requests.
+Otherwise, certain concurrency problems are difficult, e.g.\ web server, disk scheduling, and the amount of concurrency is inhibited~\cite{Gentleman81}.
+\end{itemize}
+We have satisfied these requirements in \CFA while maintaining backwards compatibility with the huge body of legacy C programs.
+% In contrast, other new programming languages must still access C programs (\eg operating-system service routines), but do so through fragile C interfaces.
+\subsection{Asynchronous Await / Call}
+Asynchronous await/call is a caller mechanism for structuring programs and/or increasing concurrency, where the caller (client) postpones an action into the future, which is subsequently executed by a callee (server).
+The caller detects the action's completion through a \newterm{future}/\newterm{promise}.
+The benefit is asynchronous caller execution with respect to the callee until future resolution.
+For single-threaded languages like JavaScript, an asynchronous call passes a callee action, which is queued in the event-engine, and continues execution with a promise.
+When the caller needs the promise to be fulfilled, it executes @await@.
+A promise-completion call-back can be part of the callee action or the caller is rescheduled;
+in either case, the call back is executed after the promise is fulfilled.
+While asynchronous calls generate new callee (server) events, we content this mechanism is insufficient for advanced control-flow mechanisms like generators or coroutines (which are discussed next).
+Specifically, control between caller and callee occurs indirectly through the event-engine precluding direct handoff and cycling among events, and requires complex resolution of a control promise and data.
+Note, @async-await@ is just syntactic-sugar over the event engine so it does not solve these deficiencies.
+For multi-threaded languages like Java, the asynchronous call queues a callee action with an executor (server), which subsequently executes the work by a thread in the executor thread-pool.
+The problem is when concurrent work-units need to interact and/or block as this effects the executor, \eg stops threads.
+While it is possible to extend this approach to support the necessary mechanisms, \eg message passing in Actors, we show monitors and threads provide an equally competitive approach that does not deviate from normal call communication and can be used to build asynchronous call, as is done in Java.
+Section~\ref{s:Performance} uses a series of microbenchmarks to compare \CFA threading with pthreads, Java OpenJDK-9, Go 1.12.6 and \uC 7.0.0.
 …
 \label{s:StatefulFunction}
+A \emph{stateful function} has the ability to remember state between calls, where state can be either data or execution, \eg plugin, device driver, finite-state machine (FSM).
+A simple technique to retain data state between calls is @static@ declarations within a function, which is often implemented by hoisting the declarations to the global scope but hiding the names within the function using name mangling.
+However, each call starts the function at the top making it difficult to determine the last point of execution in an algorithm, and requiring multiple flag variables and testing to reestablish the continuation point.
+Hence, the next step of generalizing function state is implicitly remembering the return point between calls and reentering the function at this point rather than the top, called \emph{generators}\,/\,\emph{iterators} or \emph{stackless coroutines}.
+For example, a Fibonacci generator retains data and execution state allowing it to remember prior values needed to generate the next value and the location in the algorithm to compute that value.
+The next step of generalization is instantiating the function to allow multiple named instances, \eg multiple Fibonacci generators, where each instance has its own state, and hence, can generate an independent sequence of values.
+Note, a subset of generator state is a function \emph{closure}, \ie the technique of capturing lexical references when returning a nested function.
+A further generalization is adding a stack to a generator's state, called a \emph{coroutine}, so it can suspend outside of itself, \eg call helper functions to arbitrary depth before suspending back to its resumer without unwinding these calls.
+For example, a coroutine iterator for a binary tree can stop the traversal at the visit point (pre, infix, post traversal), return the node value to the caller, and then continue the recursive traversal from the current node on the next call.
+There are two styles of activating a stateful function, \emph{asymmetric} or \emph{symmetric}, identified by resume/suspend (no cycles) and resume/resume (cycles).
+These styles \emph{do not} cause incremental stack growth, \eg a million resume/suspend or resume/resume cycles do not remember each cycle just the last resumer for each cycle.
+Selecting between stackless/stackful semantics and asymmetric/symmetric style is a tradeoff between programming requirements, performance, and design, where stackless is faster and smaller (modified call/return between closures), stackful is more general but slower and larger (context switching between distinct stacks), and asymmetric is simpler control-flow than symmetric.
+Additionally, storage management for the closure/stack (especially in unmanaged languages, \ie no garbage collection) must be factored into design and performance.
+Note, creation cost (closure/stack) is amortized across usage, so activation cost (resume/suspend) is usually the dominant factor.
+% The stateful function is an old idea~\cite{Conway63,Marlin80} that is new again~\cite{C++20Coroutine19}, where execution is temporarily suspended and later resumed, \eg plugin, device driver, finite-state machine.
+% Hence, a stateful function may not end when it returns to its caller, allowing it to be restarted with the data and execution location present at the point of suspension.
+% If the closure is fixed size, we call it a \emph{generator} (or \emph{stackless}), and its control flow is restricted, \eg suspending outside the generator is prohibited.
+% If the closure is variable size, we call it a \emph{coroutine} (or \emph{stackful}), and as the names implies, often implemented with a separate stack with no programming restrictions.
+% Hence, refactoring a stackless coroutine may require changing it to stackful.
+% A foundational property of all \emph{stateful functions} is that resume/suspend \emph{do not} cause incremental stack growth, \ie resume/suspend operations are remembered through the closure not the stack.
+% As well, activating a stateful function is \emph{asymmetric} or \emph{symmetric}, identified by resume/suspend (no cycles) and resume/resume (cycles).
+% A fixed closure activated by modified call/return is faster than a variable closure activated by context switching.
+% Additionally, any storage management for the closure (especially in unmanaged languages, \ie no garbage collection) must also be factored into design and performance.
+% Therefore, selecting between stackless and stackful semantics is a tradeoff between programming requirements and performance, where stackless is faster and stackful is more general.
+% nppNote, creation cost is amortized across usage, so activation cost is usually the dominant factor.
+For example, Python presents asymmetric generators as a function object, \uC presents symmetric coroutines as a \lstinline[language=C++]|class|-like object, and many languages present threading using function pointers, @pthreads@~\cite{Butenhof97}, \Csharp~\cite{Csharp}, Go~\cite{Go}, and Scala~\cite{Scala}.

+\CFA's preferred presentation model for generators/coroutines/threads is a hybrid of functions and classes, giving an object-oriented flavour.
+Essentially, the generator/coroutine/thread function is semantically coupled with a generator/coroutine/thread custom type via the type's name.
+The custom type solves several issues, while accessing the underlying mechanisms used by the custom types is still allowed for flexibility reasons.
+Each custom type is discussed in detail in the following sections.
+\subsection{Generator}
+Stackless generators (Table~\ref{t:ExecutionPropertyComposition} case 3) have the potential to be very small and fast, \ie as small and fast as function call/return for both creation and execution.
+The \CFA goal is to achieve this performance target, possibly at the cost of some semantic complexity.
+A series of different kinds of generators and their implementation demonstrate how this goal is accomplished.\footnote{
+The \CFA operator syntax uses \lstinline|?| to denote operands, which allows precise definitions for pre, post, and infix operators, \eg \lstinline|?++|, \lstinline|++?|, and \lstinline|?+?|, in addition \lstinline|?\{\}| denotes a constructor, as in \lstinline|foo `f` = `\{`...`\}`|, \lstinline|^?\{\}| denotes a destructor, and \lstinline|?()| is \CC function call \lstinline|operator()|.
+Operator \lstinline+|+ is overloaded for printing, like bit-shift \lstinline|<<| in \CC.
+The \CFA \lstinline|with| clause opens an aggregate scope making its fields directly accessible, like Pascal \lstinline|with|, but using parallel semantics;
+multiple aggregates may be opened.
+\CFA has rebindable references \lstinline|int i, & ip = i, j; `&ip = &j;`| and non-rebindable references \lstinline|int i, & `const` ip = i, j; `&ip = &j;` // disallowed|.
+}%
+The stateful function is an old idea~\cite{Conway63,Marlin80} that is new again~\cite{C++20Coroutine19}, where execution is temporarily suspended and later resumed, \eg plugin, device driver, finite-state machine.
+Hence, a stateful function may not end when it returns to its caller, allowing it to be restarted with the data and execution location present at the point of suspension.
+This capability is accomplished by retaining a data/execution \emph{closure} between invocations.
+If the closure is fixed size, we call it a \emph{generator} (or \emph{stackless}), and its control flow is restricted, \eg suspending outside the generator is prohibited.
+If the closure is variable size, we call it a \emph{coroutine} (or \emph{stackful}), and as the names implies, often implemented with a separate stack with no programming restrictions.

+Figure~\ref{f:FibonacciAsymmetricGenerator} shows an unbounded asymmetric generator for an infinite sequence of Fibonacci numbers written (left to right) in C, \CFA, and showing the underlying C implementation for the \CFA version.
+Stateful functions appear as generators, coroutines, and threads, where presentations are based on function objects or pointers~\cite{Butenhof97, C++14, MS:VisualC++, BoostCoroutines15}.
+For example, Python presents generators as a function object:
+\begin{python}
+def Gen():
+        ... `yield val` ...
+gen = Gen()
+for i in range( 10 ):
+        print( next( gen ) )
+\end{python}
+Boost presents coroutines in terms of four functor object-types:
+\begin{cfa}
+asymmetric_coroutine<>::pull_type
+asymmetric_coroutine<>::push_type
+symmetric_coroutine<>::call_type
+symmetric_coroutine<>::yield_type
+\end{cfa}
+and many languages present threading using function pointers, @pthreads@~\cite{Butenhof97}, \Csharp~\cite{Csharp}, Go~\cite{Go}, and Scala~\cite{Scala}, \eg pthreads:
+\begin{cfa}
+void * rtn( void * arg ) { ... }
+int i = 3, rc;
+pthread_t t; $\C{// thread id}$
+`rc = pthread_create( &t, rtn, (void *)i );` $\C{// create and initialized task, type-unsafe input parameter}$
+\end{cfa}
+% void mycor( pthread_t cid, void * arg ) {
+%       int * value = (int *)arg;                               $\C{// type unsafe, pointer-size only}$
+%       // thread body
+% }
+% int main() {
+%       int input = 0, output;
+%       coroutine_t cid = coroutine_create( &mycor, (void *)&input ); $\C{// type unsafe, pointer-size only}$
+%       coroutine_resume( cid, (void *)input, (void **)&output ); $\C{// type unsafe, pointer-size only}$
+% }
+\CFA's preferred presentation model for generators/coroutines/threads is a hybrid of objects and functions, with an object-oriented flavour.
+Essentially, the generator/coroutine/thread function is semantically coupled with a generator/coroutine/thread custom type.
+The custom type solves several issues, while accessing the underlying mechanisms used by the custom types is still allowed.
+\subsection{Generator}
+Stackless generators have the potential to be very small and fast, \ie as small and fast as function call/return for both creation and execution.
+The \CFA goal is to achieve this performance target, possibly at the cost of some semantic complexity.
+A series of different kinds of generators and their implementation demonstrate how this goal is accomplished.
+Figure~\ref{f:FibonacciAsymmetricGenerator} shows an unbounded asymmetric generator for an infinite sequence of Fibonacci numbers written in C and \CFA, with a simple C implementation for the \CFA version.
 This generator is an \emph{output generator}, producing a new result on each resumption.
 To compute Fibonacci, the previous two values in the sequence are retained to generate the next value, \ie @fn1@ and @fn@, plus the execution location where control restarts when the generator is resumed, \ie top or middle.
 …
 The C version only has the middle execution state because the top execution state is declaration initialization.
 Figure~\ref{f:CFAFibonacciGen} shows the \CFA approach, which also has a manual closure, but replaces the structure with a custom \CFA @generator@ type.
+Each generator type must have a function named \lstinline|main|,
+% \footnote{
+% The name \lstinline|main| has special meaning in C, specifically the function where a program starts execution.
+% Leveraging starting semantics to this name for generator/coroutine/thread is a logical extension.}
+called a \emph{generator main} (leveraging the starting semantics for program @main@ in C), which is connected to the generator type via its single reference parameter.
+This generator type is then connected to a function that \emph{must be named \lstinline|main|},\footnote{
+The name \lstinline|main| has special meaning in C, specifically the function where a program starts execution.
+Hence, overloading this name for other starting points (generator/coroutine/thread) is a logical extension.}
+called a \emph{generator main},which takes as its only parameter a reference to the generator type.
 The generator main contains @suspend@ statements that suspend execution without ending the generator versus @return@.
+For the Fibonacci generator-main,
+For the Fibonacci generator-main,\footnote{
+The \CFA \lstinline|with| opens an aggregate scope making its fields directly accessible, like Pascal \lstinline|with|, but using parallel semantics.
+Multiple aggregates may be opened.}
 the top initialization state appears at the start and the middle execution state is denoted by statement @suspend@.
 Any local variables in @main@ \emph{are not retained} between calls;
 …
 Resuming an ended (returned) generator is undefined.
 Function @resume@ returns its argument generator so it can be cascaded in an expression, in this case to print the next Fibonacci value @fn@ computed in the generator instance.
+Figure~\ref{f:CFibonacciSim} shows the C implementation of the \CFA asymmetric generator.
+Only one execution-state field, @restart@, is needed to subscript the suspension points in the generator.
+At the start of the generator main, the @static@ declaration, @states@, is initialized to the N suspend points in the generator (where operator @&&@ dereferences/references a label~\cite{gccValueLabels}).
+Next, the computed @goto@ selects the last suspend point and branches to it.
+The  cost of setting @restart@ and branching via the computed @goto@ adds very little cost to the suspend/resume calls.
+An advantage of the \CFA explicit generator type is the ability to allow multiple type-safe interface functions taking and returning arbitrary types.
+Figure~\ref{f:CFibonacciSim} shows the C implementation of the \CFA generator only needs one additional field, @next@, to handle retention of execution state.
+The computed @goto@ at the start of the generator main, which branches after the previous suspend, adds very little cost to the resume call.
+Finally, an explicit generator type provides both design and performance benefits, such as multiple type-safe interface functions taking and returning arbitrary types.\footnote{
+The \CFA operator syntax uses \lstinline|?| to denote operands, which allows precise definitions for pre, post, and infix operators, \eg \lstinline|++?|, \lstinline|?++|, and \lstinline|?+?|, in addition \lstinline|?\{\}| denotes a constructor, as in \lstinline|foo `f` = `\{`...`\}`|, \lstinline|^?\{\}| denotes a destructor, and \lstinline|?()| is \CC function call \lstinline|operator()|.
+}%
 \begin{cfa}
 int ?()( Fib & fib ) { return `resume( fib )`.fn; } $\C[3.9in]{// function-call interface}$
+int ?()( Fib & fib, int N ) { for ( N - 1 ) `fib()`; return `fib()`; } $\C{// add parameter to skip N values}$
+double ?()( Fib & fib ) { return (int)`fib()` / 3.14159; } $\C{// different return type, cast prevents recursive call}$
+Fib f;  int i;  double d;
+i = f();  i = f( 2 );  d = f();                                         $\C{// alternative interfaces}\CRT$
+int ?()( Fib & fib, int N ) { for ( N - 1 ) `fib()`; return `fib()`; } $\C{// use function-call interface to skip N values}$
+double ?()( Fib & fib ) { return (int)`fib()` / 3.14159; } $\C{// different return type, cast prevents recursive call}\CRT$
+sout | (int)f1() | (double)f1() | f2( 2 ); // alternative interface, cast selects call based on return type, step 2 values
 \end{cfa}
 Now, the generator can be a separately compiled opaque-type only accessed through its interface functions.
 For contrast, Figure~\ref{f:PythonFibonacci} shows the equivalent Python Fibonacci generator, which does not use a generator type, and hence only has a single interface, but an implicit closure.

+Having to manually create the generator closure by moving local-state variables into the generator type is an additional programmer burden (removed by the coroutine in Section~\ref{s:Coroutine}).
+This manual requirement follows from the generality of allowing variable-size local-state, \eg local state with a variable-length array requires dynamic allocation as the array size is unknown at compile time.

+(This restriction is removed by the coroutine in Section~\ref{s:Coroutine}.)
+This requirement follows from the generality of variable-size local-state, \eg local state with a variable-length array requires dynamic allocation because the array size is unknown at compile time.
 However, dynamic allocation significantly increases the cost of generator creation/destruction and is a showstopper for embedded real-time programming.
 But more importantly, the size of the generator type is tied to the local state in the generator main, which precludes separate compilation of the generator main, \ie a generator must be inlined or local state must be dynamically allocated.
 With respect to safety, we believe static analysis can discriminate persistent generator state from temporary generator-main state and raise a compile-time error for temporary usage spanning suspend points.
 Our experience using generators is that the problems have simple data state, including local state, but complex execution state, so the burden of creating the generator type is small.

 As well, C programmers are not afraid of this kind of semantic programming requirement, if it results in very small, fast generators.

 The example takes advantage of resuming a generator in the constructor to prime the loops so the first character sent for formatting appears inside the nested loops.
 The destructor provides a newline, if formatted text ends with a full line.
+Figure~\ref{f:CFormatGenImpl} shows the C implementation of the \CFA input generator with one additional field and the computed @goto@.

+Figure~\ref{f:DeviceDriverGen} shows an important application for an asymmetric generator, a device-driver, because device drivers are a significant source of operating-system errors: 85\% in Windows XP~\cite[p.~78]{Swift05} and 51.6\% in Linux~\cite[p.~1358,]{Xiao19}. %\cite{Palix11}
+Swift \etal~\cite[p.~86]{Swift05} restructure device drivers using the Extension Procedure Call (XPC) within the kernel via functions @nooks_driver_call@ and @nooks_kernel_call@, which have coroutine properties context switching to separate stacks with explicit hand-off calls;
+however, the calls do not retain execution state, and hence always start from the top.
+The alternative approach for implementing device drivers is using stack-ripping.
+However, Adya \etal~\cite{Adya02} argue against stack ripping in Section 3.2 and suggest a hybrid approach in Section 4 using cooperatively scheduled \emph{fibers}, which is coroutining.
+As an example, the following protocol:

+For contrast, Figure~\ref{f:PythonFormatter} shows the equivalent Python format generator with the same properties as the Fibonacci generator.
+Figure~\ref{f:DeviceDriverGen} shows a \emph{killer} asymmetric generator, a device-driver, because device drivers caused 70\%-85\% of failures in Windows/Linux~\cite{Swift05}.
+Device drives follow the pattern of simple data state but complex execution state, \ie finite state-machine (FSM) parsing a protocol.
+For example, the following protocol:
 \begin{center}
 \ldots\, STX \ldots\, message \ldots\, ESC ETX \ldots\, message \ldots\, ETX 2-byte crc \ldots
 \end{center}
 is for a simple network message beginning with the control character STX, ending with an ETX, and followed by a 2-byte cyclic-redundancy check.
+is a network message beginning with the control character STX, ending with an ETX, and followed by a 2-byte cyclic-redundancy check.
 Control characters may appear in a message if preceded by an ESC.
 When a message byte arrives, it triggers an interrupt, and the operating system services the interrupt by calling the device driver with the byte read from a hardware register.
+The device driver returns a status code of its current state, and when a complete message is obtained, the operating system read the message accumulated in the supplied buffer.
+Hence, the device driver is an input/output generator, where the cost of resuming the device-driver generator is the same as call/return, so performance in an operating-system kernel is excellent.
+The key benefits of using a generator are correctness, safety, and maintenance because the execution states are transcribed directly into the programming language rather than table lookup or stack ripping.
+The conclusion is that FSMs are complex and occur in important domains, so direct generator support is important in a system programming language.
+The device driver returns a status code of its current state, and when a complete message is obtained, the operating system knows the message is in the message buffer.
+Hence, the device driver is an input/output generator.
+Note, the cost of creating and resuming the device-driver generator, @Driver@, is virtually identical to call/return, so performance in an operating-system kernel is excellent.
+As well, the data state is small, where variables @byte@ and @msg@ are communication variables for passing in message bytes and returning the message, and variables @lnth@, @crc@, and @sum@ are local variable that must be retained between calls and are manually hoisted into the generator type.
+% Manually, detecting and hoisting local-state variables is easy when the number is small.
+In contrast, the execution state is large, with one @resume@ and seven @suspend@s.
+Hence, the key benefits of the generator are correctness, safety, and maintenance because the execution states are transcribed directly into the programming language rather than using a table-driven approach.
+Because FSMs can be complex and frequently occur in important domains, direct generator support is important in a system programming language.

 (The trivial cycle is a generator resuming itself.)
 This control flow is similar to recursion for functions but without stack growth.
 Figure~\ref{f:PingPongFullCoroutineSteps} shows the steps for symmetric control-flow are creating, executing, and terminating the cycle.
+The steps for symmetric control-flow are creating, executing, and terminating the cycle.
 Constructing the cycle must deal with definition-before-use to close the cycle, \ie, the first generator must know about the last generator, which is not within scope.
 (This issue occurs for any cyclic data structure.)
 The example creates the generators, @ping@/@pong@, and then assigns the partners that form the cycle.
 % (Alternatively, the constructor can assign the partners as they are declared, except the first, and the first-generator partner is set after the last generator declaration to close the cycle.)
 Once the cycle is formed, the program main resumes one of the generators, @ping@, and the generators can then traverse an arbitrary cycle using @resume@ to activate partner generator(s).
+% The example creates all the generators and then assigns the partners that form the cycle.
+% Alternatively, the constructor can assign the partners as they are declared, except the first, and the first-generator partner is set after the last generator declaration to close the cycle.
+Once the cycle is formed, the program main resumes one of the generators, and the generators can then traverse an arbitrary cycle using @resume@ to activate partner generator(s).
 Terminating the cycle is accomplished by @suspend@ or @return@, both of which go back to the stack frame that started the cycle (program main in the example).
-Note, the creator and starter may be different, \eg if the creator calls another function that starts the cycle.
 The starting stack-frame is below the last active generator because the resume/resume cycle does not grow the stack.
+Also, since local variables are not retained in the generator function, there are no objects with destructors to be called, so the cost is the same as a function return.
+Destructor cost occurs when the generator instance is deallocated by the creator.
+Also, since local variables are not retained in the generator function, it does not contain any objects with destructors that must be called, so the  cost is the same as a function return.
+Destructor cost occurs when the generator instance is deallocated, which is easily controlled by the programmer.
+Figure~\ref{f:CPingPongSim} shows the implementation of the symmetric generator, where the complexity is the @resume@, which needs an extension to the calling convention to perform a forward rather than backward jump.
+This jump-starts at the top of the next generator main to re-execute the normal calling convention to make space on the stack for its local variables.
+However, before the jump, the caller must reset its stack (and any registers) equivalent to a @return@, but subsequently jump forward.
+This semantics is basically a tail-call optimization, which compilers already perform.
+The example shows the assembly code to undo the generator's entry code before the direct jump.
+This assembly code depends on what entry code is generated, specifically if there are local variables and the level of optimization.
+To provide this new calling convention requires a mechanism built into the compiler, which is beyond the scope of \CFA at this time.
+Nevertheless, it is possible to hand generate any symmetric generators for proof of concept and performance testing.
+A compiler could also eliminate other artifacts in the generator simulation to further increase performance, \eg LLVM has various coroutine support~\cite{CoroutineTS}, and \CFA can leverage this support should it fork @clang@.

+Figure~\ref{f:CPingPongSim} shows the C implementation of the \CFA symmetric generator, where there is still only one additional field, @restart@, but @resume@ is more complex because it does a forward rather than backward jump.
+Before the jump, the parameter for the next call @partner@ is placed into the register used for the first parameter, @rdi@, and the remaining registers are reset for a return.
+The @jmp comain@ restarts the function but with a different parameter, so the new call's behaviour depends on the state of the coroutine type, i.e., branch to restart location with different data state.
+While the semantics of call forward is a tail-call optimization, which compilers perform, the generator state is different on each call rather a common state for a tail-recursive function (i.e., the parameter to the function never changes during the forward calls.
+However, this assembler code depends on what entry code is generated, specifically if there are local variables and the level of optimization.
+Hence, internal compiler support is necessary for any forward call (or backwards return), \eg LLVM has various coroutine support~\cite{CoroutineTS}, and \CFA can leverage this support should it eventually fork @clang@.
+For this reason, \CFA does not support general symmetric generators at this time, but, it is possible to hand generate any symmetric generators (as in Figure~\ref{f:CPingPongSim}) for proof of concept and performance testing.

 Our work provides the same high-performance asymmetric generators as \CCtwenty, and extends their work with symmetric generators.

 A coroutine is specified by replacing @generator@ with @coroutine@ for the type.
 Coroutine generality results in higher cost for creation, due to dynamic stack allocation, for execution, due to context switching among stacks, and for terminating, due to possible stack unwinding and dynamic stack deallocation.

 Like the structure in Figure~\ref{f:ExternalState}, the coroutine type allows multiple instances, where instances of this type are passed to the (overloaded) coroutine main.
 The coroutine main's stack holds the state for the next generation, @f1@ and @f2@, and the code represents the three states in the Fibonacci formula via the three suspend points, to context switch back to the caller's @resume@.
 The interface function @restart@, takes a Fibonacci instance and context switches to it using @resume@;

 This example is illustrative because both producer/consumer have two interface functions with @resume@s that suspend execution in these interface (helper) functions.
 The program main creates the producer coroutine, passes it to the consumer coroutine in its initialization, and closes the cycle at the call to @start@ along with the number of items to be produced.
+The call to @start@ is the first @resume@ of @prod@, which remembers the program main as the starter and creates @prod@'s stack with a frame for @prod@'s coroutine main at the top, and context switches to it.
+@prod@'s coroutine main starts, creates local-state variables that are retained between coroutine activations, and executes $N$ iterations, each generating two random values, calling the consumer's @deliver@ function to transfer the values, and printing the status returned from the consumer.
+The first @resume@ of @prod@ creates @prod@'s stack with a frame for @prod@'s coroutine main at the top, and context switches to it.
+@prod@'s coroutine main starts, creates local-state variables that are retained between coroutine activations, and executes $N$ iterations, each generating two random values, calling the consumer to deliver the values, and printing the status returned from the consumer.
 The producer call to @delivery@ transfers values into the consumer's communication variables, resumes the consumer, and returns the consumer status.
+Similarly on the first resume, @cons@'s stack is created and initialized, holding local-state variables retained between subsequent activations of the coroutine.
+The symmetric coroutine cycle forms when the consumer calls the producer's @payment@ function, which resumes the producer in the consumer's delivery function.
+When the producer calls @delivery@ again, it resumes the consumer in the @payment@ function.
+Both interface function than return to the their corresponding coroutine-main functions for the next cycle.
+On the first resume, @cons@'s stack is created and initialized, holding local-state variables retained between subsequent activations of the coroutine.
+The consumer iterates until the @done@ flag is set, prints the values delivered by the producer, increments status, and calls back to the producer via @payment@, and on return from @payment@, prints the receipt from the producer and increments @money@ (inflation).
+The call from the consumer to @payment@ introduces the cycle between producer and consumer.
+When @payment@ is called, the consumer copies values into the producer's communication variable and a resume is executed.
+The context switch restarts the producer at the point where it last context switched, so it continues in @delivery@ after the resume.
+@delivery@ returns the status value in @prod@'s coroutine main, where the status is printed.
+The loop then repeats calling @delivery@, where each call resumes the consumer coroutine.
+The context switch to the consumer continues in @payment@.
+The consumer increments and returns the receipt to the call in @cons@'s coroutine main.
+The loop then repeats calling @payment@, where each call resumes the producer coroutine.
 Figure~\ref{f:ProdConsRuntimeStacks} shows the runtime stacks of the program main, and the coroutine mains for @prod@ and @cons@ during the cycling.
-As a consequence of a coroutine retaining its last resumer for suspending back, these reverse pointers allow @suspend@ to cycle \emph{backwards} around a symmetric coroutine cycle.

 Terminating a coroutine cycle is more complex than a generator cycle, because it requires context switching to the program main's \emph{stack} to shutdown the program, whereas generators started by the program main run on its stack.
+Furthermore, each deallocated coroutine must execute all destructors for object allocated in the coroutine type \emph{and} allocated on the coroutine's stack at the point of suspension, which can be arbitrarily deep.
+In the example, termination begins with the producer's loop stopping after N iterations and calling the consumer's @stop@ function, which sets the @done@ flag, resumes the consumer in function @payment@, terminating the call, and the consumer's loop in its coroutine main.
+% (Not shown is having @prod@ raise a nonlocal @stop@ exception at @cons@ after it finishes generating values and suspend back to @cons@, which catches the @stop@ exception to terminate its loop.)
+When the consumer's main ends, its stack is already unwound so any stack allocated objects with destructors are finalized.
+The question now is where does control continue?
+Furthermore, each deallocated coroutine must guarantee all destructors are run for object allocated in the coroutine type \emph{and} allocated on the coroutine's stack at the point of suspension, which can be arbitrarily deep.
+When a coroutine's main ends, its stack is already unwound so any stack allocated objects with destructors have been finalized.
 The na\"{i}ve semantics for coroutine-cycle termination is to context switch to the last resumer, like executing a @suspend@/@return@ in a generator.
 However, for coroutines, the last resumer is \emph{not} implicitly below the current stack frame, as for generators, because each coroutine's stack is independent.
 Unfortunately, it is impossible to determine statically if a coroutine is in a cycle and unrealistic to check dynamically (graph-cycle problem).
 Hence, a compromise solution is necessary that works for asymmetric (acyclic) and symmetric (cyclic) coroutines.
+Our solution is to retain a coroutine's starter (first resumer), and context switch back to the starter when the coroutine ends.
 Hence, the consumer restarts its first resumer, @prod@, in @stop@, and when the producer ends, it restarts its first resumer, program main, in @start@ (see dashed lines from the end of the coroutine mains in Figure~\ref{f:ProdConsRuntimeStacks}).
+Our solution is to context switch back to the first resumer (starter) once the coroutine ends.
 This semantics works well for the most common asymmetric and symmetric coroutine usage patterns.
+For asymmetric coroutines, it is common for the first resumer (starter) coroutine to be the only resumer;
+for symmetric coroutines, it is common for the cycle creator to persist for the lifetime of the cycle.
+For asymmetric coroutines, it is common for the first resumer (starter) coroutine to be the only resumer.
+All previous generators converted to coroutines have this property.
+For symmetric coroutines, it is common for the cycle creator to persist for the lifetime of the cycle.
+Hence, the starter coroutine is remembered on the first resume and ending the coroutine resumes the starter.
+Figure~\ref{f:ProdConsRuntimeStacks} shows this semantic by the dashed lines from the end of the coroutine mains: @prod@ starts @cons@ so @cons@ resumes @prod@ at the end, and the program main starts @prod@ so @prod@ resumes the program main at the end.
 For other scenarios, it is always possible to devise a solution with additional programming effort, such as forcing the cycle forward (backward) to a safe point before starting termination.
+Note, the producer/consumer example does not illustrate the full power of the starter semantics because @cons@ always ends first.
+Assume generator @PingPong@ in Figure~\ref{f:PingPongSymmetricGenerator} is converted to a coroutine.
+Unlike generators, coroutines have a starter structure with multiple levels, where the program main starts @ping@ and @ping@ starts @pong@.
+By adjusting $N$ for either @ping@/@pong@, it is possible to have either finish first.
+If @pong@ ends first, it resumes its starter @ping@ in its coroutine main, then @ping@ ends and resumes its starter the program main on return;
+if @ping@ ends first, it resumes its starter the program main on return.
+Regardless of the cycle complexity, the starter structure always leads back to the program main, but the path can be entered at an arbitrary point.
+Once back at the program main (creator), coroutines @ping@ and @pong@ are deallocated, runnning any destructors for objects within the coroutine and possibly deallocating any coroutine stacks for non-terminated coroutines, where stack deallocation implies stack unwinding to find destructors for allocated objects on the stack.
+Hence, the \CFA termination semantics for the generator and coroutine ensure correct deallocation semnatics, regardless of the coroutine's state (terminated or active), like any other aggregate object.
+The producer/consumer example does not illustrate the full power of the starter semantics because @cons@ always ends first.
+Assume generator @PingPong@ is converted to a coroutine.
+Figure~\ref{f:PingPongFullCoroutineSteps} shows the creation, starter, and cyclic execution steps of the coroutine version.
+The program main creates (declares) coroutine instances @ping@ and @pong@.
+Next, program main resumes @ping@, making it @ping@'s starter, and @ping@'s main resumes @pong@'s main, making it @pong@'s starter.
+Execution forms a cycle when @pong@ resumes @ping@, and cycles $N$ times.
+By adjusting $N$ for either @ping@/@pong@, it is possible to have either one finish first, instead of @pong@ always ending first.
+If @pong@ ends first, it resumes its starter @ping@ in its coroutine main, then @ping@ ends and resumes its starter the program main in function @start@.
+If @ping@ ends first, it resumes its starter the program main in function @start@.
+Regardless of the cycle complexity, the starter stack always leads back to the program main, but the stack can be entered at an arbitrary point.
+Once back at the program main, coroutines @ping@ and @pong@ are deallocated.
+For generators, deallocation runs the destructors for all objects in the generator type.
+For coroutines, deallocation deals with objects in the coroutine type and must also run the destructors for any objects pending on the coroutine's stack for any unterminated coroutine.
+Hence, if a coroutine's destructor detects the coroutine is not ended, it implicitly raises a cancellation exception (uncatchable exception) at the coroutine and resumes it so the cancellation exception can propagate to the root of the coroutine's stack destroying all local variable on the stack.
+So the \CFA semantics for the generator and coroutine, ensure both can be safely deallocated at any time, regardless of their current state, like any other aggregate object.
+Explicitly raising normal exceptions at another coroutine can replace flag variables, like @stop@, \eg @prod@ raises a @stop@ exception at @cons@ after it finishes generating values and resumes @cons@, which catches the @stop@ exception to terminate its loop.
+Finally, there is an interesting effect for @suspend@ with symmetric coroutines.
+A coroutine must retain its last resumer to suspend back because the resumer is on a different stack.
+These reverse pointers allow @suspend@ to cycle \emph{backwards}, which may be useful in certain cases.
+However, there is an anomaly if a coroutine resumes itself, because it overwrites its last resumer with itself, losing the ability to resume the last external resumer.
+To prevent losing this information, a self-resume does not overwrite the last resumer.

 Users wanting to extend custom types or build their own can only do so in ways offered by the language.
 Furthermore, implementing custom types without language support may display the power of a programming language.

+Note, copying generators/coroutines/threads is undefined because muliple objects cannot execute on a shared stack and stack copying does not work in unmanaged languages (no garbage collection), like C, because the stack may contain pointers to objects within it that require updating for the copy.
+Note, copying generators/coroutines/threads is not meaningful.
+For example, both the resumer and suspender descriptors can have bidirectional pointers;
+copying these coroutines does not update the internal pointers so behaviour of both copies would be difficult to understand.
+Furthermore, two coroutines cannot logically execute on the same stack.
+A deep coroutine copy, which copies the stack, is also meaningless in an unmanaged language (no garbage collection), like C, because the stack may contain pointers to object within it that require updating for the copy.
 The \CFA @dtype@ property provides no \emph{implicit} copying operations and the @is_coroutine@ trait provides no \emph{explicit} copying operations, so all coroutines must be passed by reference (pointer).
 The function definitions ensure there is a statically typed @main@ function that is the starting point (first stack frame) of a coroutine, and a mechanism to get (read) the coroutine descriptor from its handle.
 …
 The combination of custom types and fundamental @trait@ description of these types allows a concise specification for programmers and tools, while more advanced programmers can have tighter control over memory layout and initialization.
 Figure~\ref{f:CoroutineMemoryLayout} shows different memory-layout options for a coroutine (where a thread is similar).
+Figure~\ref{f:CoroutineMemoryLayout} shows different memory-layout options for a coroutine (where a task is similar).
 The coroutine handle is the @coroutine@ instance containing programmer specified type global/communication variables across interface functions.
 The coroutine descriptor contains all implicit declarations needed by the runtime, \eg @suspend@/@resume@, and can be part of the coroutine handle or separate.
 The coroutine stack can appear in a number of locations and be fixed or variable sized.
 Hence, the coroutine's stack could be a variable-length structure (VLS)\footnote{
 We are examining VLSs, where fields can be variable-sized structures or arrays.

 Once allocated, a VLS is fixed sized.}
 on the allocating stack, provided the allocating stack is large enough.
 For a VLS stack allocation/deallocation is an inexpensive adjustment of the stack pointer, modulo any stack constructor costs (\eg initial frame setup).
 For stack allocation in the heap, allocation/deallocation is an expensive allocation, where the heap can be a shared resource, modulo any stack constructor costs.
 It is also possible to use a split (segmented) stack calling convention, available with gcc and clang, allowing a variable-sized stack via a set of connected blocks in the heap.

 Experience teaching concurrency with \uC~\cite{CS343} shows fixed-sized stacks are rarely an issue for students.

 Concurrency is nondeterministic scheduling of independent sequential execution paths (threads), where each thread has its own stack.

+In coroutining, coroutines self-schedule the thread across stacks so execution is deterministic.
 (It is \emph{impossible} to generate a concurrency error when coroutining.)
+The transition to concurrency, even for a single thread with multiple stacks, occurs when coroutines context switch to a \newterm{scheduling coroutine}, introducing non-determinism from the coroutine perspective~\cite[\S~3]{Buhr05a}.

 Therefore, a minimal concurrency system requires coroutines \emph{in conjunction with a nondeterministic scheduler}.
+The resulting execution system now follows a cooperative threading-model~\cite{Adya02,libdill} because context-switching points to the scheduler (blocking) are known, but the next unblocking point is unknown due to the scheduler.

 Uncertainty gives the illusion of parallelism on a single processor and provides a mechanism to access and increase performance on multiple processors.
 The reason is that the scheduler/runtime have complete knowledge about resources and how to best utilized them.

+A scheduler can either be a stackless or stackful.
 For stackless, the scheduler performs scheduling on the stack of the current coroutine and switches directly to the next coroutine, so there is one context switch.

 Threads in \CFA are user level run by runtime kernel threads (see Section~\ref{s:CFARuntimeStructure}), where user threads provide concurrency and kernel threads provide parallelism.
 Like coroutines, and for the same design reasons, \CFA provides a custom @thread@ type and a @trait@ to enforce and restrict the thread-interface functions.

 \label{s:MutualExclusionSynchronization}
 Unrestricted nondeterminism is meaningless as there is no way to know when a result is completed and safe to access.
+Unrestricted nondeterminism is meaningless as there is no way to know when the result is completed without synchronization.
 To produce meaningful execution requires clawing back some determinism using mutual exclusion and synchronization, where mutual exclusion provides access control for threads using shared data, and synchronization is a timing relationship among threads~\cite[\S~4]{Buhr05a}.
+The shared data protected by mutual exlusion is called a \newterm{critical section}~\cite{Dijkstra65}, and the protection can be simple (only 1 thread) or complex (only N kinds of threads, \eg group~\cite{Joung00} or readers/writer~\cite{Courtois71}).
+Without synchronization control in a critical section, an arriving thread can barge ahead of preexisting waiter threads resulting in short/long-term starvation, staleness/freshness problems, and/or incorrect transfer of data.
+Preventing or detecting barging is a challenge with low-level locks, but made easier through higher-level constructs.
+This challenge is often split into two different approaches: barging \emph{avoidance} and \emph{prevention}.
+Approaches that unconditionally releasing a lock for competing threads to acquire must use barging avoidance with flag/counter variable(s) to force barging threads to wait;
+approaches that conditionally hold locks during synchronization, \eg baton-passing~\cite{Andrews89}, prevent barging completely.
+At the lowest level, concurrent control is provided by atomic operations, upon which different kinds of locking mechanisms are constructed, \eg spin locks, semaphores~\cite{Dijkstra68b}, barriers, and path expressions~\cite{Campbell74}.
+However, for productivity it is always desirable to use the highest-level construct that provides the necessary efficiency~\cite{Hochstein05}.
+A significant challenge with locks is composability because it takes careful organization for multiple locks to be used while preventing deadlock.
+Easing composability is another feature higher-level mutual-exclusion mechanisms can offer.
+Some concurrent systems eliminate mutable shared-state by switching to non-shared communication like message passing~\cite{Thoth,Harmony,V-Kernel,MPI} (Erlang, MPI), channels~\cite{CSP} (CSP,Go), actors~\cite{Akka} (Akka, Scala), or functional techniques (Haskell).
+Some concurrent systems eliminate mutable shared-state by switching to stateless communication like message passing~\cite{Thoth,Harmony,V-Kernel,MPI} (Erlang, MPI), channels~\cite{CSP} (CSP,Go), actors~\cite{Akka} (Akka, Scala), or functional techniques (Haskell).
 However, these approaches introduce a new communication mechanism for concurrency different from the standard communication using function call/return.
 Hence, a programmer must learn and manipulate two sets of design/programming patterns.
 While this distinction can be hidden away in library code, effective use of the library still has to take both paradigms into account.
+In contrast, approaches based on shared-state models more closely resemble the standard call/return programming model, resulting in a single programming paradigm.
+Finally, a newer approach for restricting non-determinism is transactional memory~\cite{Herlihy93}.
+While this approach is pursued in hardware~\cite{Nakaike15} and system languages, like \CC~\cite{Cpp-Transactions}, the performance and feature set is still too restrictive~\cite{Cascaval08,Boehm09} to be the main concurrency paradigm for system languages.

+One of the most natural, elegant, and efficient mechanisms for mutual exclusion and synchronization for shared-memory systems is the \emph{monitor}.
+First proposed by Brinch Hansen~\cite{Hansen73} and later described and extended by C.A.R.~Hoare~\cite{Hoare74}, many concurrent programming languages provide monitors as an explicit language construct: \eg Concurrent Pascal~\cite{ConcurrentPascal}, Mesa~\cite{Mesa}, Modula~\cite{Modula-2}, Turing~\cite{Turing:old}, Modula-3~\cite{Modula-3}, NeWS~\cite{NeWS}, Emerald~\cite{Emerald}, \uC~\cite{Buhr92a} and Java~\cite{Java}.
+In addition, operating-system kernels and device drivers have a monitor-like structure, although they often use lower-level primitives such as mutex locks or semaphores to simulate monitors.
+For these reasons, \CFA selected monitors as the core high-level concurrency construct, upon which higher-level approaches can be easily constructed.
+\subsection{Mutual Exclusion}
+A group of instructions manipulating a specific instance of shared data that must be performed atomically is called a \newterm{critical section}~\cite{Dijkstra65}, which is enforced by \newterm{simple mutual-exclusion}.
+The generalization is called a \newterm{group critical-section}~\cite{Joung00}, where multiple tasks with the same session use the resource simultaneously and different sessions are segregated, which is enforced by \newterm{complex mutual-exclusion} providing the correct kind and number of threads using a group critical-section.
+The readers/writer problem~\cite{Courtois71} is an instance of a group critical-section, where readers share a session but writers have a unique session.
+However, many solutions exist for mutual exclusion, which vary in terms of performance, flexibility and ease of use.
+Methods range from low-level locks, which are fast and flexible but require significant attention for correctness, to higher-level concurrency techniques, which sacrifice some performance to improve ease of use.
+Ease of use comes by either guaranteeing some problems cannot occur, \eg deadlock free, or by offering a more explicit coupling between shared data and critical section.
+For example, the \CC @std::atomic<T>@ offers an easy way to express mutual-exclusion on a restricted set of operations, \eg reading/writing, for numerical types.
+However, a significant challenge with locks is composability because it takes careful organization for multiple locks to be used while preventing deadlock.
+Easing composability is another feature higher-level mutual-exclusion mechanisms can offer.
+\subsection{Synchronization}
+Synchronization enforces relative ordering of execution, and synchronization tools provide numerous mechanisms to establish these timing relationships.
+Low-level synchronization primitives offer good performance and flexibility at the cost of ease of use;
+higher-level mechanisms often simplify usage by adding better coupling between synchronization and data, \eg receive-specific versus receive-any thread in message passing or offering specialized solutions, \eg barrier lock.
+Often synchronization is used to order access to a critical section, \eg ensuring a waiting writer thread enters the critical section before a calling reader thread.
+If the calling reader is scheduled before the waiting writer, the reader has barged.
+Barging can result in staleness/freshness problems, where a reader barges ahead of a writer and reads temporally stale data, or a writer barges ahead of another writer overwriting data with a fresh value preventing the previous value from ever being read (lost computation).
+Preventing or detecting barging is an involved challenge with low-level locks, which is made easier through higher-level constructs.
+This challenge is often split into two different approaches: barging avoidance and prevention.
+Algorithms that unconditionally releasing a lock for competing threads to acquire use barging avoidance during synchronization to force a barging thread to wait;
+algorithms that conditionally hold locks during synchronization, \eg baton-passing~\cite{Andrews89}, prevent barging completely.
 …
 \label{s:Monitor}
+One of the most natural, elegant, efficient, high-level mechanisms for mutual exclusion and synchronization for shared-memory systems is the \emph{monitor} (Table~\ref{t:ExecutionPropertyComposition} case 2).
+First proposed by Brinch Hansen~\cite{Hansen73} and later described and extended by C.A.R.~Hoare~\cite{Hoare74}, many concurrent programming languages provide monitors as an explicit language construct: \eg Concurrent Pascal~\cite{ConcurrentPascal}, Mesa~\cite{Mesa}, Modula~\cite{Modula-2}, Turing~\cite{Turing:old}, Modula-3~\cite{Modula-3}, NeWS~\cite{NeWS}, Emerald~\cite{Emerald}, \uC~\cite{Buhr92a} and Java~\cite{Java}.
+In addition, operating-system kernels and device drivers have a monitor-like structure, although they often use lower-level primitives such as mutex locks or semaphores to manually implement a monitor.
+For these reasons, \CFA selected monitors as the core high-level concurrency construct, upon which higher-level approaches can be easily constructed.
+Specifically, a \textbf{monitor} is a set of functions that ensure mutual exclusion when accessing shared state.
+More precisely, a monitor is a programming technique that implicitly binds mutual exclusion to static function scope by call/return, as opposed to locks, where mutual-exclusion is defined by acquire/release calls, independent of lexical context (analogous to block and heap storage allocation).
+A \textbf{monitor} is a set of functions that ensure mutual exclusion when accessing shared state.
+More precisely, a monitor is a programming technique that implicitly binds mutual exclusion to static function scope, as opposed to locks, where mutual-exclusion is defined by acquire/release calls, independent of lexical context (analogous to block and heap storage allocation).
 Restricting acquire/release points eases programming, comprehension, and maintenance, at a slight cost in flexibility and efficiency.
 \CFA uses a custom @monitor@ type and leverages declaration semantics (deallocation) to protect active or waiting threads in a monitor.
 The following is a \CFA monitor implementation of an atomic counter.
 \begin{cfa}
+\begin{cfa}[morekeywords=nomutex]
 `monitor` Aint { int cnt; }; $\C[4.25in]{// atomic integer counter}$
+int ++?( Aint & `mutex` this ) with( this ) { return ++cnt; } $\C{// increment}$
+int ?=?( Aint & `mutex` lhs, int rhs ) with( lhs ) { cnt = rhs; } $\C{// conversions with int, mutex optional}\CRT$
+int ?=?( int & lhs, Aint & `mutex` rhs ) with( rhs ) { lhs = cnt; }
+\end{cfa}
+The operators use the parameter-only declaration type-qualifier @mutex@ to mark which parameters require locking during function execution to protect from race conditions.
+The assignment operators provide bidirectional conversion between an atomic and normal integer without accessing field @cnt@.
+(These operations only need @mutex@, if reading/writing the implementation type is not atomic.)
+The atomic counter is used without any explicit mutual-exclusion and provides thread-safe semantics.
+int ++?( Aint & `mutex`$\(_{opt}\)$ this ) with( this ) { return ++cnt; } $\C{// increment}$
+int ?=?( Aint & `mutex`$\(_{opt}\)$ lhs, int rhs ) with( lhs ) { cnt = rhs; } $\C{// conversions with int}\CRT$
+int ?=?( int & lhs, Aint & `mutex`$\(_{opt}\)$ rhs ) with( rhs ) { lhs = cnt; }
+\end{cfa}
+% The @Aint@ constructor, @?{}@, uses the \lstinline[morekeywords=nomutex]@nomutex@ qualifier indicating mutual exclusion is unnecessary during construction because an object is inaccessible (private) until after it is initialized.
+% (While a constructor may publish its address into a global variable, doing so generates a race-condition.)
+The prefix increment operation, @++?@, is normally @mutex@, indicating mutual exclusion is necessary during function execution, to protect the incrementing from race conditions, unless there is an atomic increment instruction for the implementation type.
+The assignment operators provide bidirectional conversion between an atomic and normal integer without accessing field @cnt@;
+these operations only need @mutex@, if reading/writing the implementation type is not atomic.
+The atomic counter is used without any explicit mutual-exclusion and provides thread-safe semantics, which is similar to the \CC template @std::atomic@.
 \begin{cfa}
 int i = 0, j = 0, k = 5;
 …
 i = x; j = y; k = z;
 \end{cfa}
-Note, like other concurrent programming languages, \CFA has specializations for the basic types using atomic instructions for performance and a general trait similar to the \CC template @std::atomic@.
 \CFA monitors have \newterm{multi-acquire} semantics so the thread in the monitor may acquire it multiple times without deadlock, allowing recursion and calling other interface functions.
-\newpage
 \begin{cfa}
 monitor M { ... } m;
 …
 \end{cfa}
 \CFA monitors also ensure the monitor lock is released regardless of how an acquiring function ends (normal or exceptional), and returning a shared variable is safe via copying before the lock is released.
+Similar safety is offered by \emph{explicit} opt-in disciplines like \CC RAII versus the monitor \emph{implicit} language-enforced safety guarantee ensuring no programmer usage errors.
+Similar safety is offered by \emph{explicit} mechanisms like \CC RAII;
+monitor \emph{implicit} safety ensures no programmer usage errors.
 Furthermore, RAII mechanisms cannot handle complex synchronization within a monitor, where the monitor lock may not be released on function exit because it is passed to an unblocking thread;
 RAII is purely a mutual-exclusion mechanism (see Section~\ref{s:Scheduling}).
 …
 \end{cquote}
 The @dtype@ property prevents \emph{implicit} copy operations and the @is_monitor@ trait provides no \emph{explicit} copy operations, so monitors must be passed by reference (pointer).
+% Copying a lock is insecure because it is possible to copy an open lock and then use the open copy when the original lock is closed to simultaneously access the shared data.
+% Copying a monitor is secure because both the lock and shared data are copies, but copying the shared data is meaningless because it no longer represents a unique entity.
 Similarly, the function definitions ensures there is a mechanism to get (read) the monitor descriptor from its handle, and a special destructor to prevent deallocation if a thread using the shared data.
 The custom monitor type also inserts any locks needed to implement the mutual exclusion semantics.
 …
 For example, a monitor may be passed through multiple helper functions before it is necessary to acquire the monitor's mutual exclusion.
+\CFA requires programmers to identify the kind of parameter with the @mutex@ keyword and uses no keyword to mean \lstinline[morekeywords=nomutex]@nomutex@, because @mutex@ parameters are rare and no keyword is the \emph{normal} parameter semantics.
+Hence, @mutex@ parameters are documentation, at the function and its prototype, to both programmer and compiler, without other redundant keywords.
+Furthermore, \CFA relies heavily on traits as an abstraction mechanism, so the @mutex@ qualifier prevents coincidentally matching of a monitor trait with a type that is not a monitor, similar to coincidental inheritance where a shape and playing card can both be drawable.
+The benefit of mandatory monitor qualifiers is self-documentation, but requiring both @mutex@ and \lstinline[morekeywords=nomutex]@nomutex@ for all monitor parameters is redundant.
+Instead, the semantics has one qualifier as the default and the other required.
+For example, make the safe @mutex@ qualifier the default because assuming \lstinline[morekeywords=nomutex]@nomutex@ may cause subtle errors.
+Alternatively, make the unsafe \lstinline[morekeywords=nomutex]@nomutex@ qualifier the default because it is the \emph{normal} parameter semantics while @mutex@ parameters are rare.
+Providing a default qualifier implies knowing whether a parameter is a monitor.
+Since \CFA relies heavily on traits as an abstraction mechanism, types can coincidentally match the monitor trait but not be a monitor, similar to inheritance where a shape and playing card can both be drawable.
+For this reason, \CFA requires programmers to identify the kind of parameter with the @mutex@ keyword and uses no keyword to mean \lstinline[morekeywords=nomutex]@nomutex@.
 The next semantic decision is establishing which parameter \emph{types} may be qualified with @mutex@.
 …
 Function @f3@ has a multiple object matrix, and @f4@ a multiple object data structure.
 While shown shortly, multiple object acquisition is possible, but the number of objects must be statically known.
 Therefore, \CFA only acquires one monitor per parameter with exactly one level of indirection, and exclude pointer types to unknown sized arrays.
+Therefore, \CFA only acquires one monitor per parameter with at most one level of indirection, excluding pointers as it is impossible to statically determine the size.
 For object-oriented monitors, \eg Java, calling a mutex member \emph{implicitly} acquires mutual exclusion of the receiver object, @`rec`.foo(...)@.
 …
 While object-oriented monitors can be extended with a mutex qualifier for multiple-monitor members, no prior example of this feature could be found.}
 called \newterm{bulk acquire}.
 \CFA guarantees bulk acquisition order is consistent across calls to @mutex@ functions using the same monitors as arguments, so acquiring multiple monitors in a bulk acquire is safe from deadlock.

 Figure~\ref{f:BankTransfer} shows a trivial solution to the bank transfer problem~\cite{BankTransfer}, where two resources must be locked simultaneously, using \CFA monitors with implicit locking and \CC with explicit locking.
 A \CFA programmer only has to manage when to acquire mutual exclusion;

 % There are many aspects of scheduling in a concurrency system, all related to resource utilization by waiting threads, \ie which thread gets the resource next.
 % Different forms of scheduling include access to processors by threads (see Section~\ref{s:RuntimeStructureCluster}), another is access to a shared resource by a lock or monitor.
+This section discusses scheduling for waiting threads eligible for monitor entry, \ie which user thread gets the shared resource next. (See Section~\ref{s:RuntimeStructureCluster} for scheduling kernel threads on virtual processors.)
+While monitor mutual-exclusion provides safe access to its shared data, the data may indicate a thread cannot proceed, \eg a bounded buffer may be full/\-empty so produce/consumer threads must block.
+Leaving the monitor and retrying (busy waiting) is impractical for high-level programming.
+Monitors eliminate busy waiting by providing synchronization within the monitor critical-section to schedule threads needing access to the shared data, where threads block versus spin.
+This section discusses monitor scheduling for waiting threads eligible for entry, \ie which thread gets the shared resource next. (See Section~\ref{s:RuntimeStructureCluster} for scheduling threads on virtual processors.)
+While monitor mutual-exclusion provides safe access to shared data, the monitor data may indicate that a thread accessing it cannot proceed, \eg a bounded buffer may be full/empty so produce/consumer threads must block.
+Leaving the monitor and trying again (busy waiting) is impractical for high-level programming.
+Monitors eliminate busy waiting by providing synchronization to schedule threads needing access to the shared data, where threads block versus spinning.
 Synchronization is generally achieved with internal~\cite{Hoare74} or external~\cite[\S~2.9.2]{uC++} scheduling.
+\newterm{Internal} (largely) schedules threads located \emph{inside} the monitor and is accomplished using condition variables with signal and wait.
+\newterm{External} (largely) schedules threads located \emph{outside} the monitor and is accomplished with the @waitfor@ statement.
+Note, internal scheduling has a small amount of external scheduling and vice versus, so the naming denotes where the majority of the block threads reside (inside or outside) for scheduling.
+For complex scheduling, the approaches can be combined, so there can be an equal number of threads waiting inside and outside.
+\CFA monitors do not allow calling threads to barge ahead of signalled threads (via barging prevention), which simplifies synchronization among threads in the monitor and increases correctness.
+A direct consequence of this semantics is that unblocked waiting threads are not required to recheck the waiting condition, \ie waits are not in a starvation-prone busy-loop as required by the signals-as-hints style with barging.
+Preventing barging comes directly from Hoare's semantics in the seminal paper on monitors~\cite[p.~550]{Hoare74}.
+\newterm{Internal scheduling} is characterized by each thread entering the monitor and making an individual decision about proceeding or blocking, while \newterm{external scheduling} is characterized by an entering thread making a decision about proceeding for itself and on behalf of other threads attempting entry.
+Finally, \CFA monitors do not allow calling threads to barge ahead of signalled threads, which simplifies synchronization among threads in the monitor and increases correctness.
+If barging is allowed, synchronization between a signaller and signallee is difficult, often requiring additional flags and multiple unblock/block cycles.
+In fact, signals-as-hints is completely opposite from that proposed by Hoare in the seminal paper on monitors~\cite[p.~550]{Hoare74}.
 % \begin{cquote}
 % However, we decree that a signal operation be followed immediately by resumption of a waiting program, without possibility of an intervening procedure call from yet a third program.
 % It is only in this way that a waiting program has an absolute guarantee that it can acquire the resource just released by the signalling program without any danger that a third program will interpose a monitor entry and seize the resource instead.~\cite[p.~550]{Hoare74}
 % \end{cquote}
+Furthermore, \CFA concurrency has no spurious wakeup~\cite[\S~9]{Buhr05a}, which eliminates an implicit self barging.
+Monitor mutual-exclusion means signalling cannot have the signaller and signalled thread in the monitor simultaneously, so only the signaller or signallee can proceed.
+Figure~\ref{f:MonitorScheduling} shows internal/external scheduling for the bounded-buffer examples in Figure~\ref{f:GenericBoundedBuffer}.
+For internal scheduling in Figure~\ref{f:BBInt}, the @signal@ moves the signallee (front thread of the specified condition queue) to urgent and the signaller continues (solid line).
+Multiple signals move multiple signallees to urgent until the condition queue is empty.
+When the signaller exits or waits, a thread is implicitly unblocked from urgent (if available) before unblocking a calling thread to prevent barging.
+Furthermore, \CFA concurrency has no spurious wakeup~\cite[\S~9]{Buhr05a}, which eliminates an implicit form of self barging.
+Hence, a \CFA @wait@ statement is not enclosed in a @while@ loop retesting a blocking predicate, which can cause thread starvation due to barging.
+Figure~\ref{f:MonitorScheduling} shows general internal/external scheduling (for the bounded-buffer example in Figure~\ref{f:InternalExternalScheduling}).
+External calling threads block on the calling queue, if the monitor is occupied, otherwise they enter in FIFO order.
+Internal threads block on condition queues via @wait@ and reenter from the condition in FIFO order.
+Alternatively, internal threads block on urgent from the @signal_block@ or @waitfor@, and reenter implicitly when the monitor becomes empty, \ie, the thread in the monitor exits or waits.
+There are three signalling mechanisms to unblock waiting threads to enter the monitor.
+Note, signalling cannot have the signaller and signalled thread in the monitor simultaneously because of the mutual exclusion, so either the signaller or signallee can proceed.
+For internal scheduling, threads are unblocked from condition queues using @signal@, where the signallee is moved to urgent and the signaller continues (solid line).
+Multiple signals move multiple signallees to urgent until the condition is empty.
+When the signaller exits or waits, a thread blocked on urgent is processed before calling threads to prevent barging.
 (Java conceptually moves the signalled thread to the calling queue, and hence, allows barging.)
+Signal is used when the signaller is providing the cooperation needed by the signallee (\eg creating an empty slot in a buffer for a producer) and the signaller immediately exits the monitor to run concurrently (consume the buffer element) and passes control of the monitor to the signalled thread, which can immediately take advantage of the state change.
+Specifically, the @wait@ function atomically blocks the calling thread and implicitly releases the monitor lock(s) for all monitors in the function's parameter list.
+Signalling is unconditional because signalling an empty condition queue does nothing.
+It is common to declare condition queues as monitor fields to prevent shared access, hence no locking is required for access as the queues are protected by the monitor lock.
+In \CFA, a condition queue can be created/stored independently.
+The alternative unblock is in the opposite order using @signal_block@, where the signaller is moved to urgent and the signallee continues (dashed line), and is implicitly unblocked from urgent when the signallee exits or waits.
+For external scheduling, the condition queues are not used;
+instead threads are unblocked directly from the calling queue using @waitfor@ based on function names requesting mutual exclusion.
+(The linear search through the calling queue to locate a particular call can be reduced to $O(1)$.)
+The @waitfor@ has the same semantics as @signal_block@, where the signalled thread executes before the signallee, which waits on urgent.
+Executing multiple @waitfor@s from different signalled functions causes the calling threads to move to urgent.
+External scheduling requires urgent to be a stack, because the signaller expects to execute immediately after the specified monitor call has exited or waited.
+Internal scheduling behaves the same for an urgent stack or queue, except for multiple signalling, where the threads unblock from urgent in reverse order from signalling.
+If the restart order is important, multiple signalling by a signal thread can be transformed into daisy-chain signalling among threads, where each thread signals the next thread.
+We tried both a stack for @waitfor@ and queue for signalling, but that resulted in complex semantics about which thread enters next.
+Hence, \CFA uses a single urgent stack to correctly handle @waitfor@ and adequately support both forms of signalling.

+Figure~\ref{f:BBInt} shows a \CFA generic bounded-buffer with internal scheduling, where producers/consumers enter the monitor, detect the buffer is full/empty, and block on an appropriate condition variable, @full@/@empty@.
+The @wait@ function atomically blocks the calling thread and implicitly releases the monitor lock(s) for all monitors in the function's parameter list.
+The appropriate condition variable is signalled to unblock an opposite kind of thread after an element is inserted/removed from the buffer.
+Signalling is unconditional, because signalling an empty condition variable does nothing.
+It is common to declare condition variables as monitor fields to prevent shared access, hence no locking is required for access as the conditions are protected by the monitor lock.
+In \CFA, a condition variable can be created/stored independently.
+% To still prevent expensive locking on access, a condition variable is tied to a \emph{group} of monitors on first use, called \newterm{branding}, resulting in a low-cost boolean test to detect sharing from other monitors.
+% Signalling semantics cannot have the signaller and signalled thread in the monitor simultaneously, which means:
+% \begin{enumerate}
+% \item
+% The signalling thread returns immediately and the signalled thread continues.
+% \item
+% The signalling thread continues and the signalled thread is marked for urgent unblocking at the next scheduling point (exit/wait).
+% \item
+% The signalling thread blocks but is marked for urgent unblocking at the next scheduling point and the signalled thread continues.

-The @signal_block@ provides the opposite unblocking order, where the signaller is moved to urgent and the signallee continues and a thread is implicitly unblocked from urgent when the signallee exits or waits (dashed line).
-Signal block is used when the signallee is providing the cooperation needed by the signaller (\eg if the buffer is removed and a producer hands off an item to a consumer, as in Figure~\ref{f:DatingSignalBlock}) so the signaller must wait until the signallee unblocks, provides the cooperation, exits the monitor to run concurrently, and passes control of the monitor to the signaller, which can immediately take advantage of the state change.
-Using @signal@ or @signal_block@ can be a dynamic decision based on whether the thread providing the cooperation arrives before or after the thread needing the cooperation.
-External scheduling in Figure~\ref{f:BBExt} simplifies internal scheduling by eliminating condition queues and @signal@/@wait@ (cases where it cannot are discussed shortly), and has existed in the programming language Ada for almost 40 years with variants in other languages~\cite{SR,ConcurrentC++,uC++}.
-While prior languages use external scheduling solely for thread interaction, \CFA generalizes it to both monitors and threads.
-External scheduling allows waiting for events from other threads while restricting unrelated events, that would otherwise have to wait on condition queues in the monitor.
-Scheduling is controlled by the @waitfor@ statement, which atomically blocks the calling thread, releases the monitor lock, and restricts the function calls that can next acquire mutual exclusion.
-Specifically, a thread calling the monitor is unblocked directly from the calling queue based on function names that can fulfill the cooperation required by the signaller.
-(The linear search through the calling queue to locate a particular call can be reduced to $O(1)$.)
-Hence, the @waitfor@ has the same semantics as @signal_block@, where the signallee thread from the calling queue executes before the signaller, which waits on urgent.
-Now when a producer/consumer detects a full/empty buffer, the necessary cooperation for continuation is specified by indicating the next function call that can occur.
-For example, a producer detecting a full buffer must have cooperation from a consumer to remove an item so function @remove@ is accepted, which prevents producers from entering the monitor, and after a consumer calls @remove@, the producer waiting on urgent is \emph{implicitly} unblocked because it can now continue its insert operation.
-Hence, this mechanism is done in terms of control flow, next call, versus in terms of data, channels, as in Go/Rust @select@.
-While both mechanisms have strengths and weaknesses, \CFA uses the control-flow mechanism to be consistent with other language features.
-Figure~\ref{f:ReadersWriterLock} shows internal/external scheduling for a readers/writer lock with no barging and threads are serviced in FIFO order to eliminate staleness/freshness among the reader/writer threads.
-For internal scheduling in Figure~\ref{f:RWInt}, the readers and writers wait on the same condition queue in FIFO order, making it impossible to tell if a waiting thread is a reader or writer.
-To clawback the kind of thread, a \CFA condition can store user data in the node for a blocking thread at the @wait@, \ie whether the thread is a @READER@ or @WRITER@.
-An unblocked reader thread checks if the thread at the front of the queue is a reader and unblock it, \ie the readers daisy-chain signal the next group of readers demarcated by the next writer or end of the queue.
-For external scheduling in Figure~\ref{f:RWExt}, a waiting reader checks if a writer is using the resource, and if so, restricts further calls until the writer exits by calling @EndWrite@.
-The writer does a similar action for each reader or writer using the resource.
-Note, no new calls to @StartRead@/@StartWrite@ may occur when waiting for the call to @EndRead@/@EndWrite@.

+Finally, external scheduling requires urgent to be a stack, because the signaller expects to execute immediately after the specified monitor call has exited or waited.
+Internal schedulling performing multiple signalling results in unblocking from urgent in the reverse order from signalling.
+It is rare for the unblocking order to be important as an unblocked thread can be time-sliced immediately after leaving the monitor.
+If the unblocking order is important, multiple signalling can be restructured into daisy-chain signalling, where each thread signals the next thread.
+Hence, \CFA uses a single urgent stack to correctly handle @waitfor@ and adequately support both forms of signalling.
+(Advanced @waitfor@ features are discussed in Section~\ref{s:ExtendedWaitfor}.)
+Figure~\ref{f:BBInt} can be transformed into external scheduling by removing the condition variables and signals/waits, and adding the following lines at the locations of the current @wait@s in @insert@/@remove@, respectively.
+\begin{cfa}[aboveskip=2pt,belowskip=1pt]
+if ( count == 10 ) `waitfor( remove, buffer )`;       |      if ( count == 0 ) `waitfor( insert, buffer )`;
+\end{cfa}
+Here, the producers/consumers detects a full/\-empty buffer and prevents more producers/consumers from entering the monitor until there is a free/empty slot in the buffer.
+External scheduling is controlled by the @waitfor@ statement, which atomically blocks the calling thread, releases the monitor lock, and restricts the function calls that can next acquire mutual exclusion.
+If the buffer is full, only calls to @remove@ can acquire the buffer, and if the buffer is empty, only calls to @insert@ can acquire the buffer.
+Threads calling excluded functions block outside of (external to) the monitor on the calling queue, versus blocking on condition queues inside of (internal to) the monitor.
+Figure~\ref{f:RWExt} shows a readers/writer lock written using external scheduling, where a waiting reader detects a writer using the resource and restricts further calls until the writer exits by calling @EndWrite@.
+The writer does a similar action for each reader or writer using the resource.
+Note, no new calls to @StarRead@/@StartWrite@ may occur when waiting for the call to @EndRead@/@EndWrite@.
+External scheduling allows waiting for events from other threads while restricting unrelated events, that would otherwise have to wait on conditions in the monitor.
+The mechnaism can be done in terms of control flow, \eg Ada @accept@ or \uC @_Accept@, or in terms of data, \eg Go @select@ on channels.
+While both mechanisms have strengths and weaknesses, this project uses the control-flow mechanism to be consistent with other language features.
+% Two challenges specific to \CFA for external scheduling are loose object-definitions (see Section~\ref{s:LooseObjectDefinitions}) and multiple-monitor functions (see Section~\ref{s:Multi-MonitorScheduling}).
+Figure~\ref{f:DatingService} shows a dating service demonstrating non-blocking and blocking signalling.
+The dating service matches girl and boy threads with matching compatibility codes so they can exchange phone numbers.
+A thread blocks until an appropriate partner arrives.
+The complexity is exchanging phone numbers in the monitor because of the mutual-exclusion property.
+For signal scheduling, the @exchange@ condition is necessary to block the thread finding the match, while the matcher unblocks to take the opposite number, post its phone number, and unblock the partner.
+For signal-block scheduling, the implicit urgent-queue replaces the explict @exchange@-condition and @signal_block@ puts the finding thread on the urgent condition and unblocks the matcher.
+The dating service is an example of a monitor that cannot be written using external scheduling because it requires knowledge of calling parameters to make scheduling decisions, and parameters of waiting threads are unavailable;
+as well, an arriving thread may not find a partner and must wait, which requires a condition variable, and condition variables imply internal scheduling.
+Furthermore, barging corrupts the dating service during an exchange because a barger may also match and change the phone numbers, invalidating the previous exchange phone number.
+Putting loops around the @wait@s does not correct the problem;
+the simple solution must be restructured to account for barging.

+The dating service is an important example of a monitor that cannot be written using external scheduling.
+First, because scheduling requires knowledge of calling parameters to make matching decisions, and parameters of calling threads are unavailable within the monitor.
+For example, a girl thread within the monitor cannot examine the @ccode@ of boy threads waiting on the calling queue to determine if there is a matching partner.
+Second, because a scheduling decision may be delayed when there is no immediate match, which requires a condition queue for waiting, and condition queues imply internal scheduling.
+For example, if a girl thread could determine there is no calling boy with the same @ccode@, it must wait until a matching boy arrives.
+Finally, barging corrupts the dating service during an exchange because a barger may also match and change the phone numbers, invalidating the previous exchange phone number.
+This situation shows rechecking the waiting condition and waiting again (signals-as-hints) fails, requiring significant restructured to account for barging.
+In summation, for internal scheduling, non-blocking signalling (as in the producer/consumer example) is used when the signaller is providing the cooperation for a waiting thread;
+the signaller enters the monitor and changes state, detects a waiting threads that can use the state, performs a non-blocking signal on the condition queue for the waiting thread, and exits the monitor to run concurrently.
+The waiter unblocks next from the urgent queue, uses/takes the state, and exits the monitor.
+Blocking signal is the reverse, where the waiter is providing the cooperation for the signalling thread;
+the signaller enters the monitor, detects a waiting thread providing the necessary state, performs a blocking signal to place it on the urgent queue and unblock the waiter.
+The waiter changes state and exits the monitor, and the signaller unblocks next from the urgent queue to use/take the state.
 Both internal and external scheduling extend to multiple monitors in a natural way.

 For @wait( e )@, the default semantics is to atomically block the signaller and release all acquired mutex parameters, \ie @wait( e, m1, m2 )@.
 To override the implicit multi-monitor wait, specific mutex parameter(s) can be specified, \eg @wait( e, m1 )@.
 Wait cannot statically verify the released monitors are the acquired mutex-parameters without disallowing separately compiled helper functions calling @wait@.
 While \CC supports bulk locking, @wait@ only accepts a single lock for a condition queue, so bulk locking with condition queues is asymmetric.

-\label{s:ExtendedWaitfor}
 Figure~\ref{f:ExtendedWaitfor} shows the extended form of the @waitfor@ statement to conditionally accept one of a group of mutex functions, with an optional statement to be performed \emph{after} the mutex function finishes.
 …
 Hence, the terminating @else@ clause allows a conditional attempt to accept a call without blocking.
 If both @timeout@ and @else@ clause are present, the @else@ must be conditional, or the @timeout@ is never triggered.
+There is also a traditional future wait queue (not shown) (\eg Microsoft @WaitForMultipleObjects@), to wait for a specified number of future elements in the queue.

 To support this efficient semantics (and prevent barging), the implementation maintains a list of monitors acquired for each blocked thread.
 When a signaller exits or waits in a monitor function/statement, the front waiter on urgent is unblocked if all its monitors are released.
 Implementing a fast subset check for the necessary released monitors is important and discussed in the following sections.
+Implementing a fast subset check for the necessary released monitors is important.
 % The benefit is encapsulating complexity into only two actions: passing monitors to the next owner when they should be released and conditionally waking threads if all conditions are met.
+\subsection{\texorpdfstring{\protect\lstinline@waitfor@ Implementation}{waitfor Implementation}}
+\label{s:waitforImplementation}
+In a statically-typed object-oriented programming language, a class has an exhaustive list of members, even when members are added via static inheritance (see Figure~\ref{f:uCinheritance}).
+Knowing all members at compilation (even separate compilation) allows uniquely numbered them so the accept-statement implementation can use a fast/compact bit mask with $O(1)$ compare.

+\end{figure}
+However, the @waitfor@ statement in translation unit 2 (see Figure~\ref{f:CFinheritance}) cannot see function @g@ in translation unit 1 precluding a unique numbering for a bit-mask because the monitor type only carries the protected shared-data.
+\subsection{Loose Object Definitions}
+\label{s:LooseObjectDefinitions}
+In an object-oriented programming language, a class includes an exhaustive list of operations.
+A new class can add members via static inheritance but the subclass still has an exhaustive list of operations.
+(Dynamic member adding, \eg JavaScript~\cite{JavaScript}, is not considered.)
+In the object-oriented scenario, the type and all its operators are always present at compilation (even separate compilation), so it is possible to number the operations in a bit mask and use an $O(1)$ compare with a similar bit mask created for the operations specified in a @waitfor@.
+However, in \CFA, monitor functions can be statically added/removed in translation units, making a fast subset check difficult.
+\begin{cfa}
+        monitor M { ... }; // common type, included in .h file
+translation unit 1
+        void `f`( M & mutex m );
+        void g( M & mutex m ) { waitfor( `f`, m ); }
+translation unit 2
+        void `f`( M & mutex m ); $\C{// replacing f and g for type M in this translation unit}$
+        void `g`( M & mutex m );
+        void h( M & mutex m ) { waitfor( `f`, m ) or waitfor( `g`, m ); } $\C{// extending type M in this translation unit}$
+\end{cfa}
+The @waitfor@ statements in each translation unit cannot form a unique bit-mask because the monitor type does not carry that information.
+Hence, function pointers are used to identify the functions listed in the @waitfor@ statement, stored in a variable-sized array.
+Then, the same implementation approach used for the urgent stack is used for the calling queue.
+Each caller has a list of monitors acquired, and the @waitfor@ statement performs a (usually short) linear search matching functions in the @waitfor@ list with called functions, and then verifying the associated mutex locks can be transfers.
 (A possible way to construct a dense mapping is at link or load-time.)
-Hence, function pointers are used to identify the functions listed in the @waitfor@ statement, stored in a variable-sized array.

 …
 The solution is for the programmer to disambiguate:
 \begin{cfa}
 waitfor( f : `m2` ); $\C{// wait for call to f with argument m2}$
+waitfor( f, `m2` ); $\C{// wait for call to f with argument m2}$
 \end{cfa}
 Both locks are acquired by function @g@, so when function @f@ is called, the lock for monitor @m2@ is passed from @g@ to @f@, while @g@ still holds lock @m1@.
 …
 monitor M { ... };
 void f( M & mutex m1, M & mutex m2 );
 void g( M & mutex m1, M & mutex m2 ) { waitfor( f : `m1, m2` ); $\C{// wait for call to f with arguments m1 and m2}$
+void g( M & mutex m1, M & mutex m2 ) { waitfor( f, `m1, m2` ); $\C{// wait for call to f with arguments m1 and m2}$
 \end{cfa}
 Again, the set of monitors passed to the @waitfor@ statement must be entirely contained in the set of monitors already acquired by the accepting function.
 % Also, the order of the monitors in a @waitfor@ statement must match the order of the mutex parameters.
 Figure~\ref{f:UnmatchedMutexSets} shows internal and external scheduling with multiple monitors that must match exactly with a signalling or accepting thread, \ie partial matching results in waiting.

+\subsection{\texorpdfstring{\protect\lstinline@monitor@ Generators / Coroutines / Threads}{monitor Generators / Coroutines / Threads}}
+\CFA generators, coroutines, and threads can also be monitors (Table~\ref{t:ExecutionPropertyComposition} cases 4, 6, 12) allowing safe \emph{direct communication} with threads, \ie the custom types can have mutex functions that are called by other threads.
+All monitor features are available within these mutex functions.
+For example, if the formatter generator (or coroutine equivalent) in Figure~\ref{f:CFAFormatGen} is extended with the monitor property and this interface function is used to communicate with the formatter:
+\begin{cfa}
+void fmt( Fmt & mutex fmt, char ch ) { fmt.ch = ch; resume( fmt ) }
+\end{cfa}
+multiple threads can safely pass characters for formatting.
+Figure~\ref{f:DirectCommunicationComparison} shows a comparison of direct call-communication in \CFA versus indirect channel-communication in Go.
+(Ada has a similar mechanism to \CFA direct communication.)
+The program thread in \CFA @main@ uses the call/return paradigm to directly communicate with the @GoRtn main@, whereas Go switches to the channel paradigm to indirectly communicate with the goroutine.
+Communication by multiple threads is safe for the @gortn@ thread via mutex calls in \CFA or channel assignment in Go.
+Figure~\ref{f:DirectCommunicationDatingService} shows the dating-service problem in Figure~\ref{f:DatingServiceMonitor} extended from indirect monitor communication to direct thread communication.
+When converting a monitor to a thread (server), the coding pattern is to move as much code as possible from the accepted members into the thread main so it does an much work as possible.
+Notice, the dating server is postponing requests for an unspecified time while continuing to accept new requests.
+For complex servers (web-servers), there can be hundreds of lines of code in the thread main and safe interaction with clients can be complex.
+\subsection{Execution Properties}
+Table~\ref{t:ObjectPropertyComposition} shows how the \CFA high-level constructs cover 3 fundamental execution properties: thread, stateful function, and mutual exclusion.
+Case 1 is a basic object, with none of the new execution properties.
+Case 2 allows @mutex@ calls to Case 1 to protect shared data.
+Case 3 allows stateful functions to suspend/resume but restricts operations because the state is stackless.
+Case 4 allows @mutex@ calls to Case 3 to protect shared data.
+Cases 5 and 6 are the same as 3 and 4 without restriction because the state is stackful.
+Cases 7 and 8 are rejected because a thread cannot execute without a stackful state in a preemptive environment when context switching from the signal handler.
+Cases 9 and 10 have a stackful thread without and with @mutex@ calls.
+For situations where threads do not require direct communication, case 9 provides faster creation/destruction by eliminating @mutex@ setup.

+A \newterm{cluster} is a collection of user and kernel threads, where the kernel threads run the user threads from the cluster's ready queue, and the operating system runs the kernel threads on the processors from its ready queue.
+The term \newterm{virtual processor} is introduced as a synonym for kernel thread to disambiguate between user and kernel thread.
+From the language perspective, a virtual processor is an actual processor (core).
+A \newterm{cluster} is a collection of threads and virtual processors (abstract kernel-thread) that execute the (user) threads from its own ready queue (like an OS executing kernel threads).
 The purpose of a cluster is to control the amount of parallelism that is possible among threads, plus scheduling and other execution defaults.
 The default cluster-scheduler is single-queue multi-server, which provides automatic load-balancing of threads on processors.
 …
 Programs may use more virtual processors than hardware processors.
 On a multiprocessor, kernel threads are distributed across the hardware processors resulting in virtual processors executing in parallel.
 (It is possible to use affinity to lock a virtual processor onto a particular hardware processor~\cite{affinityLinux,affinityWindows}, which is used when caching issues occur or for heterogeneous hardware processors.) %, affinityFreebsd, affinityNetbsd, affinityMacosx
+(It is possible to use affinity to lock a virtual processor onto a particular hardware processor~\cite{affinityLinux, affinityWindows, affinityFreebsd, affinityNetbsd, affinityMacosx}, which is used when caching issues occur or for heterogeneous hardware processors.)
 The \CFA runtime attempts to block unused processors and unblock processors as the system load increases;
 balancing the workload with processors is difficult because it requires future knowledge, \ie what will the application workload do next.
+balancing the workload with processors is difficult because it requires future knowledge, \ie what will the applicaton workload do next.
 Preemption occurs on virtual processors rather than user threads, via operating-system interrupts.
 Thus virtual processors execute user threads, where preemption frequency applies to a virtual processor, so preemption occurs randomly across the executed user threads.
 …
 Nondeterministic preemption provides fairness from long-running threads, and forces concurrent programmers to write more robust programs, rather than relying on code between cooperative scheduling to be atomic.
 This atomic reliance can fail on multi-core machines, because execution across cores is nondeterministic.
 A different reason for not supporting preemption is that it significantly complicates the runtime system, \eg Windows runtime does not support interrupts and on Linux systems, interrupts are complex (see below).
+A different reason for not supporting preemption is that it significantly complicates the runtime system, \eg Microsoft runtime does not support interrupts and on Linux systems, interrupts are complex (see below).
 Preemption is normally handled by setting a countdown timer on each virtual processor.
 When the timer expires, an interrupt is delivered, and its signal handler resets the countdown timer, and if the virtual processor is executing in user code, the signal handler performs a user-level context-switch, or if executing in the language runtime kernel, the preemption is ignored or rolled forward to the point where the runtime kernel context switches back to user code.

 Multiple signal handlers may be pending.
 When control eventually switches back to the signal handler, it returns normally, and execution continues in the interrupted user thread, even though the return from the signal handler may be on a different kernel thread than the one where the signal is delivered.
 The only issue with this approach is that signal masks from one kernel thread may be restored on another as part of returning from the signal handler;
 therefore, the same signal mask is required for all virtual processors in a cluster.
+Because preemption interval is usually long (1 millisecond) performance cost is negligible.
+Linux switched a decade ago from specific to arbitrary virtual-processor signal-delivery for applications with multiple kernel threads.
+In the new semantics, a virtual-processor directed signal may be delivered to any virtual processor created by the application that does not have the signal blocked.

+\begin{cquote}
+A process-directed signal may be delivered to any one of the threads that does not currently have the signal blocked.

+SIGNAL(7) - Linux Programmer's Manual
+\end{cquote}
 Hence, the timer-expiry signal, which is generated \emph{externally} by the Linux kernel to an application, is delivered to any of its Linux subprocesses (kernel threads).
 To ensure each virtual processor receives a preemption signal, a discrete-event simulation is run on a special virtual processor, and only it sets and receives timer events.

 To test the performance of the \CFA runtime, a series of microbenchmarks are used to compare \CFA with pthreads, Java 11.0.6, Go 1.12.6, Rust 1.37.0, Python 3.7.6, Node.js 12.14.1, and \uC 7.0.0.

+\paragraph{Context-Switching}
 In procedural programming, the cost of a function call is important as modularization (refactoring) increases.
 (In many cases, a compiler inlines function calls to increase the size and number of basic blocks for optimizing.)
 Similarly, when modularization extends to coroutines/threads, the time for a context switch becomes a relevant factor.
+(In many cases, a compiler inlines function calls to eliminate this cost.)
+Similarly, when modularization extends to coroutines/tasks, the time for a context switch becomes a relevant factor.
 The coroutine test is from resumer to suspender and from suspender to resumer, which is two context switches.
-%For async-await systems, the test is scheduling and fulfilling @N@ empty promises, where all promises are allocated before versus interleaved with fulfillment to avoid garbage collection.
-For async-await systems, the test measures the cost of the @await@ expression entering the event engine by awaiting @N@ promises, where each created promise is resolved by an immediate event in the engine (using Node.js @setImmediate@).
 The thread test is using yield to enter and return from the runtime kernel, which is two context switches.
 The difference in performance between coroutine and thread context-switch is the cost of scheduling for threads, whereas coroutines are self-scheduling.

+% I can also verify that the previous version, which just tied a bunch of promises together, *does not* go back to the
+% event loop at all in the current version of Node. Presumably they're taking advantage of the fact that the ordering of
+% events is intentionally undefined to just jump right to the next 'then' in the chain, bypassing event queueing
+% entirely. That's perfectly correct behavior insofar as its difference from the specified behavior isn't observable, but
+% it isn't typical or representative of much anything useful, because most programs wouldn't have whole chains of eager
+% promises. Also, it's not representative of *anything* you can do with async/await, as there's no way to encode such an

+\paragraph{Mutual-Exclusion}
+Uncontented mutual exclusion, which frequently occurs, is measured by entering/leaving a critical section.
 For monitors, entering and leaving a monitor function is measured, otherwise the language-appropriate mutex-lock is measured.
 For comparison, a spinning (versus blocking) test-and-test-set lock is presented.
 Figure~\ref{f:mutex} shows the code for \CFA with results in Table~\ref{t:mutex}.
 Note the incremental cost of bulk acquire for \CFA, which is largely a fixed cost for small numbers of mutex objects.

+Note, the incremental cost of bulk acquire for \CFA, which is largely a fixed cost for small numbers of mutex objects.
+Java scheduling is significantly greater because the benchmark explicitly creates multiple thread in order to prevent the JIT from making the program sequential, \ie removing all locking.

-\subsection{Discussion}
-Languages using 1:1 threading based on pthreads can at best meet or exceed (due to language overhead) the pthread results.
-Note, pthreads has a fast zero-contention mutex lock checked in user space.
-Languages with M:N threading have better performance than 1:1 because there is no operating-system interactions.
-Languages with stackful coroutines have higher cost than stackless coroutines because of stack allocation and context switching;
-however, stackful \uC and \CFA coroutines have approximately the same performance as stackless Python and Node.js generators.
-The \CFA stackless generator is approximately 25 times faster for suspend/resume and 200 times faster for creation than stackless Python and Node.js generators.
 \section{Conclusion}
 …
 Advanced control-flow will always be difficult, especially when there is temporal ordering and nondeterminism.
 However, many systems exacerbate the difficulty through their presentation mechanisms.
+This paper shows it is possible to understand high-level control-flow using three properties: statefulness, thread, mutual-exclusion/synchronization.
+Combining these properties creates a number of high-level, efficient, and maintainable control-flow types: generator, coroutine, thread, each of which can be a monitor.
+Eliminated from \CFA are barging and spurious wakeup, which are nonintuitive and lead to errors, and having to work with a bewildering set of low-level locks and acquisition techniques.
+\CFA high-level race-free monitors and threads provide the core mechanisms for mutual exclusion and synchronization, without having to resort to magic qualifiers like @volatile@/@atomic@.
+This paper shows it is possible to present a hierarchy of control-flow features, generator, coroutine, thread, and monitor, providing an integrated set of high-level, efficient, and maintainable control-flow features.
+Eliminated from \CFA are spurious wakeup and barging, which are nonintuitive and lead to errors, and having to work with a bewildering set of low-level locks and acquisition techniques.
+\CFA high-level race-free monitors and tasks provide the core mechanisms for mutual exclusion and synchronization, without having to resort to magic qualifiers like @volatile@/@atomic@.
 Extending these mechanisms to handle high-level deadlock-free bulk acquire across both mutual exclusion and synchronization is a unique contribution.
 The \CFA runtime provides concurrency based on a preemptive M:N user-level threading-system, executing in clusters, which encapsulate scheduling of work on multiple kernel threads providing parallelism.
 The M:N model is judged to be efficient and provide greater flexibility than a 1:1 threading model.
 These concepts and the \CFA runtime-system are written in the \CFA language, extensively leveraging the \CFA type-system, which demonstrates the expressiveness of the \CFA language.
 Performance comparisons with other concurrent systems/languages show the \CFA approach is competitive across all basic operations, which translates directly into good performance in well-written applications with advanced control-flow.
 C programmers should feel comfortable using these mechanisms for developing complex control-flow in applications, with the ability to obtain maximum available performance by selecting mechanisms at the appropriate level of need using only calling communication.

+Many modern workloads are not bound by computation but IO operations, a common case being web servers and XaaS~\cite{XaaS} (anything as a service).
 These types of workloads require significant engineering to amortizing costs of blocking IO-operations.
 At its core, non-blocking I/O is an operating-system level feature queuing IO operations, \eg network operations, and registering for notifications instead of waiting for requests to complete.

-Referee(s)' Comments to Author:
-Reviewing: 1
-Comments to the Author
-This article presents the design and rationale behind the various
-threading and synchronization mechanisms of C-forall, a new low-level
-programming language.  This paper is very similar to a companion paper
-which I have also received: as the papers are similar, so will these
-reviews be --- in particular any general comments from the other
-review apply to this paper also.
-As far as I can tell, the article contains three main ideas: an
-asynchronous execution / threading model; a model for monitors to
-provide mutual exclusion; and an implementation.  The first two ideas
-are drawn together in Table 1: unfortunately this is on page 25 of 30
-pages of text. Implementation choices and descriptions are scattered
-throughout the paper - and the sectioning of the paper seems almost
-arbitrary.
-The article is about its contributions.  Simply adding feature X to
-language Y isn't by itself a contribution, (when feature X isn't
-already a contribution).  The contribution can be in the design: the
-motivation, the space of potential design options, the particular
-design chosen and the rationale for that choice, or the resulting
-performance.  For example: why support two kinds of generators as well
-as user-level threads?  Why support both low and high level
-synchronization constructs?  Similarly I would have found the article
-easier to follow if it was written top down, presenting the design
-principles, present the space of language features, justify chosen
-language features (and rationale) and those excluded, and then present
-implementation, and performance.
-Then the writing of the article is often hard to follow, to say the
-least. Two examples: section 3 "stateful functions" - I've some idea
-what that is (a function with Algol's "own" or C's "static" variables?
-but in fact the paper has a rather more specific idea than that. The
-top of page 3 throws a whole lot of defintions at the reader
-"generator" "coroutine" "stackful" "stackless" "symmetric"
-"asymmetric" without every stopping to define each one --- but then in
-footnote "C" takes the time to explain what C's "main" function is?  I
-cannot imagine a reader of this paper who doesn't know what "main" is
-in C; especially if they understand the other concepts already
-presented in the paper.  The start of section 3 then does the same
-thing: putting up a whole lot of definitions, making distinctions and
-comparisons, even talking about some runtime details, but the critical
-definition of a monitor doesn't appear until three pages later, at the
-start of section 5 on p15, lines 29-34 are a good, clear, description
-of what a monitor actually is.  That needs to come first, rather than
-being buried again after two sections of comparisons, discussions,
-implementations, and options that are ungrounded because they haven't
-told the reader what they are actually talking about.  First tell the
-reader what something is, then how they might use it (as programmers:
-what are the rules and restrictions) and only then start comparison
-with other things, other approaches, other languages, or
-implementations.
-The description of the implementation is similarly lost in the trees
-without ever really seeing the wood. Figure 19 is crucial here, but
-it's pretty much at the end of the paper, and comments about
-implementations are threaded throughout the paper without the context
-(fig 19) to understand what's going on.   The protocol for performance
-testing may just about suffice for C (although is N constantly ten
-million, or does it vary for each benchmark) but such evaluation isn't
-appropriate for garbage-collected or JITTed languages like Java or Go.
-other comments working through the paper - these are mostly low level
-and are certainly not comprehensive.
-p1 only a subset of C-forall extensions?
-p1 "has features often associated with object-oriented programming
-languages, such as constructors, destructors, virtuals and simple
-inheritance."   There's no need to quibble about this. Once a language
-has inheritance, it's hard to claim it's not object-oriented.
-p2 barging? signals-as-hints?
-p3 start your discussion of generations with a simple example of a
-C-forall generator.  Fig 1(b) might do: but put it inline instead of
-the python example - and explain the key rules and restrictions on the
-construct.  Then don't even start to compare with coroutines until
-you've presented, described and explained your coroutines...
-p3 I'd probably leave out the various "C" versions unless there are
-key points to make you can't make in C-forall. All the alternatives
-are just confusing.
-p4 but what's that "with" in Fig 1(B)
-p5 start with the high level features of C-forall generators...
-p5 why is the paper explaining networking protocols?
-p7 lines 1-9 (transforming generator to coroutine - why would I do any
-of this? Why would I want one instead of the other (do not use "stack"
-in your answer!)
-p10 last para "A coroutine must retain its last resumer to suspend
-back because the resumer is on a different stack. These reverse
-pointers allow suspend to cycle backwards, "  I've no idea what is
-going on here?  why should I care?  Shouldn't I just be using threads
-instead?  why not?
-p16 for the same reasons - what reasons?
-p17 if the multiple-monitor entry procedure really is novel, write a
-paper about that, and only about that.
-p23 "Loose Object Definitions" - no idea what that means.  in that
-section: you can't leave out JS-style dynamic properties.  Even in
-OOLs that (one way or another) allow separate definitions of methods
-(like Objective-C, Swift, Ruby, C#) at any time a runtime class has a
-fixed definition.  Quite why the detail about bit mask implementation
-is here anyway, I've no idea.
-p25 this cluster isn't a CLU cluster then?
-* conclusion should conclude the paper, not the related.
-Reviewing: 2
-Comments to the Author
-This paper describes the concurrency features of an extension of C (whose name I will write as "C\/" here, for convenience), including much design-level discussion of the coroutine- and monitor-based features and some microbenchmarks exploring the current implementation's performance. The key message of the latter is that the system's concurrency abstractions are much lighter-weight than the threading found in mainstream C or Java implementations.
-There is much description of the system and its details, but nothing about (non-artificial) uses of it. Although the microbenchmark data is encouraging, arguably not enough practical experience with the system has been reported here to say much about either its usability advantages or its performance.
-As such, the main contribution of the paper seem to be to document the existence of the described system and to provide a detailed design rationale and (partial) tutorial. I believe that could be of interest to some readers, so an acceptable manuscript is lurking in here somewhere.
-Unfortunately, at present the writing style is somewhere between unclear and infuriating. It omits to define terms; it uses needlessly many terms for what are apparently (but not clearly) the same things; it interrupts itself rather than deliver the natural consequent of whatever it has just said; and so on. Section 5 is particularly bad in these regards -- see my detailed comments below. Fairly major additional efforts will be needed to turn the present text into a digestible design-and-tutorial document. I suspect that a shorter paper could do this job better than the present manuscript, which is overwrought in parts.
-p2: lines 4--9 are a little sloppy. It is not the languages but their popular implementations which "adopt" the 1:1 kernel threading model.
-line 10: "medium work" -- "medium-sized work"?
-line 18: "is all sequential to the compiler" -- not true in modern compilers, and in 2004 H-J Boehm wrote a tech report describing exactly why ("Threads cannot be implemented as a library", HP Labs).
-line 20: "knows the optimization boundaries" -- I found this vague. What's an example?
-line 31: this paragraph has made a lot of claims. Perhaps forward-reference to the parts of the paper that discuss each one.
-line 33: "so the reader can judge if" -- this reads rather passive-aggressively. Perhaps better: "... to support our argument that..."
-line 41: "a dynamic partitioning mechanism" -- I couldn't tell what this meant
-p3. Presenting concept of a "stateful function" as a new language feature seems odd. In C, functions often have local state thanks to static local variables (or globals, indeed). Of course, that has several limitations. Can you perhaps present your contributions by enumerating these limitations? See also my suggestion below about a possible framing centred on a strawman.
-line 2: "an old idea that is new again" -- this is too oblique
-lines 2--15: I found this to be a word/concept soup. Stacks, closures, generators, stackless stackful, coroutine, symmetric, asymmetric, resume/suspend versus resume/resume... there needs to be a more gradual and structured way to introduce all this, and ideally one that minimises redundancy. Maybe present it as a series of "definitions" each with its own heading, e.g. "A closure is stackless if its local state has statically known fixed size"; "A generator simply means a stackless closure." And so on. Perhaps also strongly introduce the word "activate" as a direct contrast with resume and suspend. These are just a flavour of the sort of changes that might make this paragraph into something readable.
-Continuing the thought: I found it confusing that by these definitinos, a stackful closure is not a stack, even though logically the stack *is* a kind of closure (it is a representation of the current thread's continuation).
-lines 24--27: without explaining what the boost functor types mean, I don't think the point here comes across.
-line 34: "semantically coupled" -- I wasn't surew hat this meant
-p4: the point of Figure 1 (C) was not immediately clear. It seem to be showing how one might "compile down" Figure 1 (B). Or is that Figure 1 (A)?
-It's right that the incidental language features of the system are not front-and-centre, but I'd appreciate some brief glossing of non-C languages features as they appear. Examples are the square bracket notation, the pipe notation and the constructor syntax. These explanations could go in the caption of the figure which first uses them, perhaps. Overall I found the figure captions to be terse, and a missed opportunity to explain clearly what was going on.
-p5 line 23: "This restriction is removed..." -- give us some up-front summary of your contributions and the elements of the language design that will be talked about, so that this isn't an aside. This will reduce the "twisty passages" feeling that characterises much of the paper.
-line 40: "a killer asymmetric generator" -- this is stylistically odd, and the sentence about failures doesn't convincigly argue that C\/ will help with them. Have you any experience writing device drivers using C\/? Or any argument that the kinds of failures can be traced to the "stack-ripping" style that one is forced to use without coroutines? Also, a typo on line 41: "device drives". And saying "Windows/Linux" is sloppy... what does the cited paper actually say?
-p6 lines 13--23: this paragraph is difficult to understand. It seems to be talking about a control-flow pattern roughly equivalent to tail recursion. What is the high-level point, other than that this is possible?
-line 34: "which they call coroutines" -- a better way to make this point is presumably that the C++20 proposal only provides a specialised kind of coroutine, namely generators, despite its use of the more general word.
-line 47: "... due to dynamic stack allocation, execution..." -- this sentence doesn't scan. I suggest adding "and for" in the relevant places where currently there are only commas.
-p8 / Figure 5 (B) -- the GNU C extension of unary "&&" needs to be explained. The whole figure needs a better explanation, in fact.
-p9, lines 1--10: I wasn't sure this stepping-through really added much value. What are the truly important points to note about this code?
-p10: similarly, lines 3--27 again are somewhere between tedious and confusing. I'm sure the motivation and details of "starter semantics" can both be stated much more pithily.
-line 32: "a self-resume does not overwrite the last resumer" -- is this a hack or a defensible principled decision?
-p11: "a common source of errors" -- among beginners or among production code? Presumably the former.
-line 23: "with builtin and library" -- not sure what this means
-lines 31--36: these can be much briefer. The only important point here seems to be that coroutines cannot be copied.
-p12: line 1: what is a "task"? Does it matter?
-line 7: calling it "heap stack" seems to be a recipe for confusion. "Stack-and-heap" might be better, and contrast with "stack-and-VLS" perhaps. When "VLS" is glossed, suggest actually expanding its initials: say "length" not "size".
-line 21: are you saying "cooperative threading" is the same as "non-preemptive scheduling", or that one is a special case (kind) of the other? Both are defensible, but be clear.
-line 27: "mutual exclusion and synchronization" -- the former is a kind of the latter, so I suggest "and other forms of synchronization".
-line 30: "can either be a stackless or stackful" -- stray "a", but also, this seems to be switching from generic/background terminology to C\/-specific terminology.
-An expositional idea occurs: start the paper with a strawman naive/limited realisation of coroutines -- say, Simon Tatham's popular "Coroutines in C" web page -- and identify point by point what the limitations are and how C\/ overcomes them. Currently the presentation is often flat (lacking motivating contrasts) and backwards (stating solutions before problems). The foregoing approach might fix both of these.
-page 13: line 23: it seems a distraction to mention the Python feature here.
-p14 line 5: it seems odd to describe these as "stateless" just because they lack shared mutable state. It means the code itself is even more stateful. Maybe the "stack ripping" argument could usefully be given here.
-line 16: "too restrictive" -- would be good to have a reference to justify this, or at least give a sense of what the state-of-the-art performance in transactional memory systems is (both software and hardware)
-line 22: "simulate monitors" -- what about just *implementing* monitors? isn't that what these systems do? or is the point more about refining them somehow into something more specialised?
-p15: sections 4.1 and 4.2 seem adrift and misplaced. Split them into basic parts (which go earlier) and more advanced parts (e.g. barging, which can be explained later).
-line 31: "acquire/release" -- misses an opportunity to contrast the monitor's "enter/exit" abstraction with the less structured acquire/release of locks.
-p16 line 12: the "implicit" versus "explicit" point is unclear. Is it perhaps about the contract between an opt-in *discipline* and a language-enforced *guarantee*?
-line 28: no need to spend ages dithering about which one is default and which one is the explicit qualifier. Tell us what you decided, briefly justify it, and move on.
-p17: Figure 11: since the main point seems to be to highlight bulk acquire, include a comment which identifies the line where this is happening.
-line 2: "impossible to statically..." -- or dynamically. Doing it dynamically would be perfectly acceptable (locking is a dynamic operation after all)
-"guarantees acquisition order is consistent" -- assuming it's done in a single bulk acquire.
-p18: section 5.3: the text here is a mess. The explanations of "internal" versus "external" scheduling are unclear, and "signals as hints" is not explained. "... can cause thread starvation" -- means including a while loop, or not doing so? "There are three signalling mechanisms.." but the text does not follow that by telling us what they are. My own scribbled attempt at unpicking the internal/external thing: "threads already in the monitor, albeit waiting, have priority over those trying to enter".
-p19: line 3: "empty condition" -- explain that condition variables don't store anything. So being "empty" means that the queue of waiting threads (threads waiting to be signalled that the condition has become true) is empty.
-line 6: "... can be transformed into external scheduling..." -- OK, but give some motivation.
-p20: line 6: "mechnaism"
-lines 16--20: this is dense and can probably only be made clear with an example
-p21 line 21: clarify that nested monitor deadlock was describe earlier (in 5.2). (Is the repetition necessary?)
-line 27: "locks, and by extension monitors" -- this is true but the "by extension" argument is faulty. It is perfectly possible to use locks as a primitive and build a compositional mechanism out of them, e.g. transactions.
-p22 line 2: should say "restructured"
-line 33: "Implementing a fast subset check..." -- make clear that the following section explains how to do this. Restructuring the sections themselves could do this, or noting in the text.
-p23: line 3: "dynamic member adding, eg, JavaScript" -- needs to say "as permitted in JavaScript", and "dynamically adding members" is stylistically better
-p23: line 18: "urgent stack" -- back-reference to where this was explained before
-p24 line 7: I did not understand what was more "direct" about "direct communication". Also, what is a "passive monitor" -- just a monitor, given that monitors are passive by design?
-line 14 / section 5.9: this table was useful and it (or something like it) could be used much earlier on to set the structure of the rest of the paper. The explanation at present is too brief, e.g. I did not really understand the point about cases 7 and 8.
-p25 line 2: instead of casually dropping in a terse explanation for the newly intrdouced term "virtual processor", introduce it properly. Presumably the point is to give a less ambiguous meaning to "thread" by reserving it only for C\/'s green threads.
-Table 1: what does "No / Yes" mean?
-p26 line 15: "transforms user threads into fibres" -- a reference is needed to explain what "fibres" means... guessing it's in the sense of Adya et al.
-line 20: "Microsoft runtime" -- means Windows?
-lines 21--26: don't say "interrupt" to mean "signal", especially not without clear introduction. You can use "POSIX signal" to disambiguate from condition variables' "signal".
-p27 line 3: "frequency is usually long" -- that's a "time period" or "interval", not a frequency
-line 5: the lengthy quotation is not really necessary; just paraphrase the first sentence and move on.
-line 20: "to verify the implementation" -- I don't think that means what is intended
-Tables in section 7 -- too many significant figures. How many overall runs are described? What is N in each case?
-p29 line 2: "to eliminate this cost" -- arguably confusing since nowadays on commodity CPUs most of the benefits of inlining are not to do with call overheads, but from later optimizations enabled as a consequence of the inlining
-line 41: "a hierarchy" -- are they a hierarchy? If so, this could be explained earlier. Also, to say these make up "an integrated set... of control-flow features" verges on the tautologous.
-p30 line 15: "a common case being web servers and XaaS" -- that's two cases

-Comments to the Author
-# Cforall review
-Overall, I quite enjoyed reading the paper. Cforall has some very interesting ideas. I did have some suggestions that I think would be helpful before final publication. I also left notes on various parts of the paper that I find confusing when reading, in hopes that it may be useful to you.
-## Summary
-* Expand on the motivations for including both generator and coroutines, vs trying to build one atop the other
-* Expand on the motivations for having Why both symmetric and asymettric coroutines?
-* Comparison to async-await model adopted by other languages
-    * C#, JS
-    * Rust and its async/await model
-* Consider performance comparisons against node.js and Rust frameworks
-* Discuss performance of monitors vs finer-grained memory models and atomic operations found in other languages
-* Why both internal/external scheduling for synchronization?
-## Generator/coroutines
-In general, this section was clear, but I thought it would be useful to provide a somewhat deeper look into why Cforall opted for the particular combination of features that it offers. I see three main differences from other languages:
-* Generators are not exposed as a "function" that returns a generator object, but rather as a kind of struct, with communication happening via mutable state instead of "return values". That is, the generator must be manually resumed and (if I understood) it is expected to store values that can then later be read (perhaps via methods), instead of having a `yield <Expr>` statement that yields up a value explicitly.
-* Both "symmetric" and "asymmetric" generators are supported, instead of only asymmetric.
-* Coroutines (multi-frame generators) are an explicit mechanism.
-In most other languages, coroutines are rather built by layering single-frame generators atop one another (e.g., using a mechanism like async-await), and symmetric coroutines are basically not supported. I'd like to see a bit more justification for Cforall including all the above mechanisms -- it seemed like symmetric coroutines were a useful building block for some of the user-space threading and custom scheduler mechanisms that were briefly mentioned later in the paper.
-In the discussion of coroutines, I would have expected a bit more of a comparison to the async-await mechanism offered in other languages. Certainly the semantics of async-await in JavaScript implies significantly more overhead (because each async fn is a distinct heap object). [Rust's approach avoids this overhead][zc], however, and might be worthy of a comparison (see the Performance section).
-## Locks and threading
-### Comparison to atomics overlooks performance
-There are several sections in the paper that compare against atomics -- for example, on page 15, the paper shows a simple monitor that encapsulates an integer and compares that to C++ atomics. Later, the paper compares the simplicity of monitors against the `volatile` quantifier from Java. The conclusion in section 8 also revisits this point.
-While I agree that monitors are simpler, they are obviously also significantly different from a performance perspective -- the paper doesn't seem to address this at all. It's plausible that (e.g.) the `Aint` monitor type described in the paper can be compiled and mapped to the specialized instructions offered by hardware, but I didn't see any mention of how this would be done. There is also no mention of the more nuanced memory ordering relations offered by C++11 and how one might achieve similar performance characteristics in Cforall (perhaps the answer is that one simply doesn't need to; I think that's defensible, but worth stating explicitly).
-### Justification for external scheduling feels lacking
-Cforall includes both internal and external scheduling; I found the explanation for the external scheduling mechanism to be lacking in justification. Why include both mechanisms when most languages seem to make do with only internal scheduling? It would be useful to show some scenarios where external scheduling is truly more powerful.
-I would have liked to see some more discussion of external scheduling and how it  interacts with software engineering best practices. It seems somewhat similar to AOP in certain regards. It seems to add a bit of "extra semantics" to monitor methods, in that any method may now also become a kind of synchronization point. The "open-ended" nature of this feels like it could easily lead to subtle bugs, particularly when code refactoring occurs (which may e.g. split an existing method into two). This seems particularly true if external scheduling can occur across compilation units -- the paper suggested that this is true, but I wasn't entirely clear.
-I would have also appreciated a few more details on how external scheduling is implemented. It seems to me that there must be some sort of "hooks" on mutex methods so that they can detect whether some other function is waiting on them and awaken those blocked threads. I'm not sure how such hooks are inserted, particularly across compilation units. The material in Section 5.6 didn't quite clarify the matter for me. For example, it left me somewhat confused about whether the `f` and `g` functions declared were meant to be local to a translation unit, or shared with other unit.
-### Presentation of monitors is somewhat confusing
-I found myself confused fairly often in the section on monitors. I'm just going to leave some notes here on places that I got confused in how that it could be useful to you as feedback on writing that might want to be clarified.
-To start, I did not realize that the `mutex_opt` notation was a keyword, I thought it was a type annotation. I think this could be called out more explicitly.
-Later, in section 5.2, the paper discusses `nomutex` annotations, which initially threw me, as they had not been introduced (now I realize that this paragraph is there to justify why there is no such keyword). The paragraph might be rearranged to make that clearer, perhaps by leading with the choice that Cforall made.
-On page 17, the paper states that "acquiring multiple monitors is safe from deadlock", but this could be stated a bit more precisely: acquiring multiple monitors in a bulk-acquire is safe from deadlock (deadlock can still result from nested acquires).
-On page 18, the paper states that wait states do not have to be enclosed in loops, as there is no concern of barging. This seems true but there are also other reasons to use loops (e.g., if there are multiple reasons to notify on the same condition). Thus the statement initially surprised me, as barging is only one of many reasons that I typically employ loops around waits.
-I did not understand the diagram in Figure 12 for some time. Initially, I thought that it was generic to all monitors, and I could not understand the state space. It was only later that I realized it was specific to your example. Updating the caption from "Monitor scheduling to "Monitor scheduling in the example from Fig 13" might have helped me quite a bit.
-I spent quite some time reading the boy/girl dating example (\*) and I admit I found it somewhat confusing. For example, I couldn't tell whether there were supposed to be many "girl" threads executing at once, or if there was only supposed to be one girl and one boy thread executing in a loop. Are the girl/boy threads supposed to invoke the girl/boy methods or vice versa? Surely there is some easier way to set this up? I believe that when reading the paper I convinced myself of how it was supposed to be working, but I'm writing this review some days later, and I find myself confused all over again and not able to easily figure it out.
-(\*) as an aside, I would consider modifying the example to some other form of matching, like customers and support personnel.
-## Related work
-The paper offered a number of comparisons to Go, C#, Scala, and so forth, but seems to have overlooked another recent language, Rust. In many ways, Rust seems to be closest in philosophy to Cforall, so it seems like an odd omission. I already mentioned above that Rust is in the process of shipping [async-await syntax][aa], which is definitely an alternative to the generator/coroutine approach in Cforall (though one with clear pros/cons).
-## Performance
-In the performance section in particular, you might consider comparing against some of the Rust web servers and threading systems. For example, actix is top of the [single query TechEmpower Framework benchmarks], and tokio is near the top of the [plainthreading benchmarks][pt] (hyper, the top, is more of an HTTP framework, though it is also written in Rust). It would seem worth trying to compare their "context switching" costs as well -- I believe both actix and tokio have a notion of threads that could be readily compared.
-Another addition that might be worth considering is to compare against node.js promises, although I think the comparison to process creation is not as clean.
-That said, I think that the performance comparison is not a big focus of the paper, so it may not be necessary to add anything to it.
-## Authorship of this review
-I'm going to sign this review. This review was authored by Nicholas D. Matsakis. In the intrerest of full disclosure, I'm heavily involved in the Rust project, although I dont' think that influenced this review in particular. Feel free to reach out to me for clarifying questions.

 parameter on instantiation.
-### Extension: Object Access
-This requires that the resolution scope (see below) is at the type level or
-has explicate points with names. These are the tables and table names used
-here.
-The system already knows where to find the virtual table and the object. If
-the tables have particular identities, or on the user side names, then it is
-meaningful to check if a binding virtual table is the same* as another. The
-main use of this is virtual table declarations also give the type they bind
-and if a binding table matches a known table then the underlyind object in the
-trait object must be of that type.
-* By identity, by value would work and in some senses be more flexiable. But
-  it would be slower and refering to further away functions would be harder.
-This gives one of the main new features of the hierarchical use of virtual
-tables (see below); the ability to recover the underlying object. Or a pointer
-of the approprate type it which both reflects the implementation and gives a
-convenent way to encode the boolean/conditional aspect of the operation which
-is that a different virtual table might be in use.
-There are two general ways to reperent this; a cast or a field access. The
-cast is traditional and would definitely fit if a single pointer repersents
-a trait object with the virtual table as part of the object. However for a
-double pointer field access might be more approprate. By this system though
-it is not the type that is used as the identifier but the virtual table. If
-there is one table per type than it becomes equivilant again. Otherwise the
-table has to be used as the identifier and the type is just a result of that
-which seems important for syntax.

 \section{Introduction}
 \subsection{\CFA and the \CFA concurrency package}
+\CFA\cite{Moss18} is a modern, polymorphic, non-object-oriented, concurrent, backwards-compatible extension of the C programming language.
+It aims to add high-productivity features while maintaining the predictable performance of C.
+As such, concurrency in \CFA\cite{Delisle19} aims to offer simple and safe high-level tools while still allowing performant code.
+\CFA concurrent code is written in the synchronous programming paradigm but uses \glspl{uthrd} in order to achieve the simplicity and maintainability of synchronous programming without sacrificing the efficiency of asynchronous programing.
+As such, the \CFA \newterm{scheduler} is a preemptive user-level scheduler that maps \glspl{uthrd} onto \glspl{kthrd}.
+\CFA\cit is a modern, polymorphic, non-object-oriented, backwards-compatible extension of the C programming language. It aims to add high productivity features while maintaning the predictible performance of C. As such concurrency in \CFA\cit aims to offer simple and safe high-level tools while still allowing performant code. Concurrent code is written in the syncrhonous programming paradigm but uses \glspl{uthrd} in order to achieve the simplicity and maintainability of synchronous programming without sacrificing the efficiency of asynchronous programing. As such the \CFA scheduler is a user-level scheduler that maps \glspl{uthrd} onto \glspl{kthrd}.
+\newterm{Scheduling} occurs when execution switches from one thread to another, where the second thread is implicitly chosen by the scheduler.
+This scheduling is an indirect handoff, as opposed to generators and coroutines which explicitly switch to the next generator and coroutine respectively.
+The cost of switching between two threads for an indirect handoff has two components:
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item
+the cost of actually context-switching, \ie changing the relevant registers to move execution from one thread to the other,
+\item
+and the cost of scheduling, \ie deciding which thread to run next among all the threads ready to run.
+\end{enumerate}
+The first cost is generally constant and fixed\footnote{Affecting the constant context-switch cost is whether it is done in one step, after the scheduling, or in two steps, context-switching to a fixed third-thread before scheduling.}, while the scheduling cost can vary based on the system state.
+Adding multiple \glspl{kthrd} does not fundamentally change the scheduler semantics or requirements, it simply adds new correctness requirements, \ie \newterm{linearizability}\footnote{Meaning however fast the CPU threads run, there is an equivalent sequential order that gives the same result.}, and a new dimension to performance: scalability, where scheduling cost now also depends on contention.
+The more threads switch, the more the administration cost of scheduling becomes noticeable.
+It is therefore important to build a scheduler with the lowest possible cost and latency.
+Another important consideration is \newterm{fairness}.
+In principle, scheduling should give the illusion of perfect fairness, where all threads ready to run are running \emph{simultaneously}.
+While the illusion of simultaneity is easier to reason about, it can break down if the scheduler allows too much unfairness.
+Therefore, the scheduler should offer as much fairness as needed to guarantee eventual progress, but use unfairness to help performance.
+In practice, threads must wait in turn but there can be advantages to unfair scheduling, similar to the the express cash-register at a grocery store.
+The goal of this research is to produce a scheduler that is simple for programmers to understand and offers good performance.
+Here understandability does not refer to the API but to how much scheduling concerns programmers need to take into account when writing a \CFA concurrent package.
+Therefore, the main goal of this proposal is :
+The goal of this research is to produce a scheduler that is simple to use and offers acceptable performance in all cases. Here simplicity does not refer to the API but to how much scheduling concerns programmers need to take into account when using the \CFA concurrency package. Therefore, the main goal of this proposal is as follows :
 \begin{quote}
 The \CFA scheduler should be \emph{viable} for \emph{any} workload.
+The \CFA scheduler should be \emph{viable} for any workload.
 \end{quote}
+For a general purpose scheduler, it is impossible to produce an optimal algorithm as it would require knowledge of the future behaviour of threads.
+As such, scheduling performance is generally either defined by the best case scenario, \ie a workload to which the scheduler is tailored, or the worst case scenario, \ie the scheduler behaves no worst than \emph{X}.
+For this proposal, the performance is evaluated using the second approach to allow \CFA programmers to rely on scheduling performance.
+Because there is no optimal scheduler, ultimately \CFA may allow programmers to write their own scheduler; but that is not the subject of this proposal, which considers only the default scheduler.
+As such, it is important that only programmers with exceptionally high performance requirements should need to write their own scheduler and replace the scheduler in this proposal.
+To achieve the \CFA scheduling goal includes:
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item
+producing a scheduling strategy with sufficient fairness guarantees,
+\item
+creating an abstraction layer over the operating system to handle kernel-threads spinning unnecessarily,
+\item
+scheduling blocking I/O operations,
+\item
+and writing sufficient library tools to allow developers to indirectly use the scheduler, either through tuning knobs or replacing the default scheduler.
+\end{enumerate}
+This objective includes producing a scheduling strategy with minimal fairness guarantees, creating an abstraction layer over the operating system to handle kernel-threads spinning unnecessarily and hide blocking I/O operations and, writing sufficient library tools to allow developpers to properly use the scheduler.

+\section{\CFA Scheduling}
+To schedule user-level threads across all workloads, the scheduler has a number of requirements:
+\paragraph{Correctness} As with any other concurrent data structure or algorithm, the correctness requirement is paramount.
+The scheduler cannot allow threads to be dropped from the ready queue, \ie scheduled but never run, or be executed multiple times when only being scheduled once.
+Since \CFA concurrency has no spurious wakeup, this definition of correctness also means the scheduler should have no spurious wakeup.
+The \CFA scheduler must be correct.
+\paragraph{Performance} The performance of a scheduler can generally be measured in terms of scheduling cost, scalability and latency.
+\newterm{Scheduling cost} is the cost to switch from one thread to another, as mentioned above.
+For simple applications, where a single kernel thread does most of the scheduling, it is generally the dominating cost.
+\newterm{Scalability} is the cost of adding multiple kernel threads because it increases the time for context switching because of contention by multiple threads accessing shared resources, \eg the ready queue.
+Finally, \newterm{tail latency} is service delay and relates to thread fairness.
+Specifically, latency measures how long a thread waits to run once scheduled and is evaluated in the worst case.
+The \CFA scheduler should offer good performance for all three metrics.
+\paragraph{Fairness} Like performance, this requirement has several aspect : eventual progress, predictability and performance reliability.
+\newterm{Eventual progress} guarantees every scheduled thread is eventually run, \ie prevent starvation.
+As a hard requirement, the \CFA scheduler must guarantee eventual progress, otherwise the above mentioned illusion of simultaneous execution is broken and the scheduler becomes much more complex to reason about.
+\newterm{Predictability} and \newterm{reliability} means similar workloads achieve similar performance and programmer execution intuition is respected.
+For example, a thread that yields aggressively should not run more often then other tasks.
+While this is intuitive, it does not hold true for many work-stealing or feedback based schedulers.
+The \CFA scheduler must guarantee eventual progress and should be predictable and offer reliable performance.
+\paragraph{Efficiency} Finally, efficient usage of CPU resources is also an important requirement and is discussed in depth towards the end of the proposal.
+\newterm{Efficiency} means avoiding using CPU cycles when there are no threads to run, and conversely, use all CPUs available when the workload can benefit from it.
+Balancing these two states is where the complexity lies.
+The \CFA scheduler should be efficient with respect to the underlying (shared) computer.
+\bigskip To achieve these requirements, I can reject two broad types of scheduling strategies : feedback-based and priority schedulers.
+\section{Scheduling for \CFA}
+While the \CFA concurrency package doesn't have any particular scheduling needs beyond those of any concurrency package which uses \glspl{uthrd}, it is important that the default \CFA Scheduler be viable in general. Indeed, since the \CFA Scheduler does not target any specific workloads, it is unrealistic to demand that it use the best scheduling strategy in all cases. However, it should offer a viable ``out of the box'' solution for most scheduling problems so that programmers can quickly write performant concurrent without needed to think about which scheduling strategy is more appropriate for their workload. Indeed, only programmers with exceptionnaly high performance requirements should need to write their own scheduler. More specifically, two broad types of schedulering strategies should be avoided in order to avoid penalizing certain types of workloads : feedback-based and priority schedulers.
 \subsection{Feedback-Based Schedulers}
+Many operating systems use schedulers based on feedback in some form, \eg measuring how much CPU a particular thread has used\footnote{Different metrics can be measured but it is not relevant to the discussion.} and schedule threads based on this metric.
+These strategies are sensible for operating systems but rely on two assumptions for the workload:
+Many operating systems use schedulers based on feadback loops in some form, they measure how much CPU a particular thread has used\footnote{Different metrics can be used to here but it is not relevant to the discussion.} and schedule threads based on this metric. These strategies are sensible for operating systems but rely on two assumptions on the workload :
 \begin{enumerate}
         \item Threads live long enough for useful feedback information to be to gathered.
         \item Threads belong to multiple users so fairness across threads is insufficient.
+        \item Threads live long enough to be scheduled many times.
+        \item Cooperation among all threads is not simply infeasible, it is a security risk.
 \end{enumerate}
+While these two assumptions generally hold for operating systems, they may not for user-level threading.
+Since \CFA has the explicit goal of allowing many smaller threads, this can naturally lead to threads with much shorter lifetimes that are only scheduled a few times.
+Scheduling strategies based on feedback cannot be effective in these cases because there is no opportunity to measure the metrics that underlie the algorithm.
+Note, the problem of \newterm{feedback convergence} (reacting too slowly to scheduling events) is not specific to short lived threads but can also occur with threads that show drastic changes in scheduling, \eg threads running for long periods of time and then suddenly blocking and unblocking quickly and repeatedly.
+While these two assumptions generally hold for operating systems, they may not for \CFA programs. In fact, \CFA uses \glspl{uthrd} which have the explicit goal of reducing the cost of threading primitives to allow many smaller threads. This can naturally lead to have threads with much shorter lifetime and only being scheduled a few times. Scheduling strategies based on feadback loops cannot be effective in these cases because they will not have the opportunity to measure the metrics that underlay the algorithm. Note that the problem of feadback loop convergence (reacting too slowly to scheduling events) is not specific to short lived threads but can also occur with threads that show drastic changes in scheduling event, e.g., threads running for long periods of time and then suddenly blocking and unblocking quickly and repeatedly.
+In the context of operating systems, these concerns can be overshadowed by a more pressing concern : security.
+When multiple users are involved, it is possible some users are malevolent and try to exploit the scheduling strategy to achieve some nefarious objective.
+Security concerns mean more precise and robust fairness metrics must be used to guarantee fairness across processes created by users as well as threads created within a process.
+In the case of the \CFA scheduler, every thread runs in the same user space and is controlled by the same user.
+Fairness across users is therefore a given and it is then possible to safely ignore the possibility that threads are malevolent.
+This approach allows for a much simpler fairness metric and in this proposal \emph{fairness} is defined as: when multiple threads are cycling through the system, the total ordering of threads being scheduled, \ie pushed onto the ready-queue, should not differ much from the total ordering of threads being executed, \ie popped from the ready-queue.
+In the context of operating systems, these concerns can be overshadowed by a more pressing concern : security. When multiple users are involved, it is possible that some users are malevolent and try to exploit the scheduling strategy in order to achieve some nefarious objective. Security concerns mean that more precise and robust fairness metrics must be used. In the case of the \CFA scheduler, every thread runs in the same user-space and are controlled from the same user. It is then possible to safely ignore the possibility that threads are malevolent and assume that all threads will ignore or cooperate with each other. This allows for a much simpler fairness metric and in this proposal ``fairness'' will be considered as equal opportunities to run once scheduled.
+Since feedback is not necessarily feasible within the lifetime of all threads and a simple fairness metric can be used, the scheduling strategy proposed for the \CFA runtime does not use per-threads feedback.
+Feedback in general is not rejected for secondary concerns like idle sleep for kernel threads, but no feedback is used to decide which thread to run next.
+Since feadback is not necessarily feasible within the lifetime of all threads and a simple fairness metric can be used, the scheduling strategy proposed for the \CFA runtime does not user per-threads feedback. Feedback loops in general are not rejected for secondary concerns like idle sleep, but no feedback loop is used to decide which thread to run next.
 \subsection{Priority Schedulers}
+Another broad category of schedulers are priority schedulers.
+In these scheduling strategies, threads have priorities and the runtime schedules the threads with the highest priority before scheduling other threads.
+Threads with equal priority are scheduled using a secondary strategy, often something simple like round-robin or FIFO.
+A consequence of priority is that, as long as there is a thread with a higher priority that desires to run, a thread with a lower priority does not run.
+This possible starving of threads can dramatically increase programming complexity since starving threads and priority inversion (prioritizing a lower priority thread) can both lead to serious problems.
+Another broad category of schedulers are priority schedulers. In these scheduling strategies threads have priorities and the runtime schedules the threads with the highest priority before scheduling other threads. Threads with equal priority are scheduled using a secondary strategy, often something simple like round-robin or FIFO. These priority mean that, as long as there is a thread with a higher priority that desires to run, a thread with a lower priority will not run. This possible starving of threads can dramatically increase programming complexity since starving threads and priority inversion (prioritising a lower priority thread) can both lead to serious problems, leaving programmers between a rock and a hard place.
+An important observation is that threads do not need to have explicit priorities for problems to occur.
+Indeed, any system with multiple ready-queues that attempts to exhaust one queue before accessing the other queues, essentially provide implicit priority, which can encounter starvation problems.
+For example, a popular scheduling strategy that suffers from implicit priorities is work stealing.
+\newterm{Work stealing} is generally presented as follows:
+An important observation to make is that threads do not need to have explicit priorities for problems to be possible. Indeed, any system with multiple ready-queues and attempts to exhaust one queue before accessing the other queues, could encounter starvation problems. A popular scheduling strategy that suffers from implicit priorities is work-stealing. Work-stealing is generally presented as follows :
+\begin{itemize}
+        \item Each processor has a list of threads.
+\end{itemize}
 \begin{enumerate}
+        \item Each processor has a list of ready threads.
+        \item Each processor runs threads from its ready queue first.
+        \item If a processor's ready queue is empty, attempt to run threads from some other processor's ready queue.
+        \item Run threads from ``this'' processor's list.
+        \item If ``this'' processor's list is empty, run threads from some other processor's list.
 \end{enumerate}
 In a loaded system\footnote{A \newterm{loaded system} is a system where threads are being run at the same rate they are scheduled.}, if a thread does not yield, block, or preempt for an extended period of time, threads on the same processor's list starve if no other processors exhaust their list.
+In a loaded system\footnote{A loaded system is a system where threads are being run at the same rate they are scheduled}, if a thread does not yield or block for an extended period of time, threads on the same processor list will starve if no other processors can exhaust their list.
 Since priorities can be complex for programmers to incorporate into their execution intuition, the scheduling strategy proposed for the \CFA runtime does not use a strategy with either implicit or explicit thread priorities.
+Since priorities can be complex to handle for programmers, the scheduling strategy proposed for the \CFA runtime does not use a strategy with either implicit or explicit thread priorities.
+\subsection{Schedulers without feedback or priorities}
+This proposal conjectures that is is possible to construct a default scheduler for the \CFA runtime that offers good scalability and a simple fairness guarantee that is easy for programmers to reason about.
+The simplest fairness guarantee is FIFO ordering, \ie threads scheduled first run first.
+However, enforcing FIFO ordering generally conflicts with scalability across multiple processors because of the additional synchronization.
+Thankfully, strict FIFO is not needed for sufficient fairness.
+Since concurrency is inherently non-deterministic, fairness concerns in scheduling are only a problem if a thread repeatedly runs before another thread can run.
+Some relaxation is possible because non-determinism means programmers already handle ordering problems to produce correct code and hence rely on weak guarantees, \eg that a specific thread will \emph{eventually} run.
+Since some reordering does not break correctness, the FIFO fairness guarantee can be significantly relaxed without causing problems.
+For this proposal, the target guarantee is that the \CFA scheduler provides \emph{probable} FIFO ordering, which allows reordering but makes it improbable that threads are reordered far from their position in total ordering.
+\subsection{Schedulers without feadback or priorities}
+I claim that the ideal default scheduler for the \CFA runtime is a scheduler that offers good scalability and a simple fairness guarantee that is easy for programmers to reason about. The simplest fairness guarantee is to guarantee FIFO ordering, i.e., threads scheduled first will run first. However, enforcing FIFO ordering generally conflicts with scalability across multiple processors because of the additionnal synchronization. Thankfully, strict FIFO is not needed for scheduling. Since concurrency is inherently non-deterministic, fairness concerns in scheduling are only a problem if a thread repeatedly runs before another thread can run\footnote{This is because the non-determinism means that programmers must already handle ordering problems in order to produce correct code and already must rely on weak guarantees, for example that a specific thread will \emph{eventually} run.}. This need for unfairness to persist before problems occur means that the FIFO fairness guarantee can be significantly relaxed without causing problems. For this proposal, the target guarantee is that the \CFA scheduler guarantees \emph{probable} FIFO ordering, which is defined as follows :
+\begin{itemize}
+        \item Given two threads $X$ and $Y$, the odds that thread $X$ runs $N$ times \emph{after} thread $Y$ is scheduled but \emph{before} it is run, decreases exponentially with regards to $N$.
+\end{itemize}
+The \CFA scheduler fairness is defined as follows:
+\begin{itemize}
+        \item Given two threads $X$ and $Y$, the odds that thread $X$ runs $N$ times \emph{after} thread $Y$ is scheduled but \emph{before} it is run, decreases exponentially with regard to $N$.
+\end{itemize}
+While this is not a bounded guarantee, the probability that unfairness persist for long periods of times decreases exponentially, making persisting unfairness virtually impossible.
+While this is not a strong guarantee, the probability that problems persist for long period of times decreases exponentially, making persisting problems virtually impossible.
+\subsection{Real-Time}
+While the objective of this proposed scheduler is similar to the objective of real-time scheduling, this proposal is not a proposal for real-time scheduler and as such makes no attempt to offer either soft or hard guarantees on scheduling delays.

 \section{Proposal Details}
+\section{Proposal}
+\subsection{Central Ready Queue} \label{sec:queue}
+A central ready queue can be built from a FIFO queue, where user threads are pushed onto the queue when they are ready to run, and processors (kernel-threads acting as virtual processors) pop the user threads from the queue and execute them.
+Alistarh \etal~\cite{alistarh2018relaxed} show it is straightforward to build a relaxed FIFO list that is fast and scalable for loaded or overloaded systems.
+The described queue uses an array of underlying strictly FIFO queues as shown in Figure~\ref{fig:base}\footnote{For this section, the number of underlying queues is assumed to be constant.
+Section~\ref{sec:resize} discusses resizing the array.}.
+Pushing new data is done by selecting one of these underlying queues at random, recording a timestamp for the operation and pushing to the selected queue.
+Popping is done by selecting two queues at random and popping from the queue with the oldest timestamp.
+A higher number of underlying queues leads to less contention on each queue and therefore better performance.
+In a loaded system, it is highly likely the queues are non-empty, \ie several tasks are on each of the underlying queues.
+This means that selecting a queue at random to pop from is highly likely to yield a queue with available items.
+In Figure~\ref{fig:base}, ignoring the ellipsis, the chances of getting an empty queue is 2/7 per pick, meaning two random picks yield an item approximately 9 times out of 10.
+\subsection{Ready-Queue}
+Using trevor's paper\cit as basis, it is simple to build a relaxed FIFO list that is fast and scalable for loaded or overloaded systems. The described queue uses an array of underlying strictly FIFO queue. Pushing new data is done by selecting one of these underlying queues at random, recording a timestamp for the push and pushing to the selected queue. Popping is done by selecting two queues at random and popping from the queue for which the head has the oldest timestamp. In loaded or overloaded systems, it is higly likely that the queues is far from empty, e.i., several tasks are on each of the underlying queues. This means that selecting a queue at random to pop from is higly likely to yield a queue that is not empty.

+                \input{base}
+        \end{center}
+        \caption{Relaxed FIFO list at the base of the scheduler: an array of strictly FIFO lists.
+The timestamp is in all nodes and cell arrays.}
+        \label{fig:base}
+\end{figure}
+When the ready queue is "more empty", i.e., several of the inner queues are empty, selecting a random queue for popping is less likely to yield a valid selection and more attempts need to be made, resulting in a performance degradation. In cases, with few elements on the ready queue and few processors running, performance can be improved by adding information to help processors find which inner queues are used. Preliminary performance tests indicate that with few processors, a bitmask can be used to identify which inner queues are currently in use. This is especially effective in the single-thread case, where the bitmask will always be up-to-date. Furthermore, modern x86 CPUs have a BMI2 extension which allow using the bitmask with very little overhead over directly accessing the readyqueue offerring decent performance even in cases with many empty inner queues. This technique does not solve the problem completely, it randomly attempts to find a block of 64 queues where at least one is used, instead of attempting to find a used queue. For systems with a large number of cores this does not completely solve the problem, but it is a fixed improvement. The size of the blocks are limited by the maximum size atomic instruction can operate on, therefore atomic instructions on large words would increase the 64 queues per block limit.
+\begin{figure}
+        \begin{center}
+                \input{empty}
+        \end{center}
+        \caption{``More empty'' state of the queue: the array contains many empty cells.}
+        \label{fig:empty}
+\end{figure}
+\TODO double check the next sentence
+Preliminary result indicate that the bitmask approach with the BMI2 extension can lead to multi-threaded performance that is contention agnostic in the worst case.
+This result suggests that the contention penalty and the increase performance for additionnal thread cancel each other exactly. This may indicate that a relatively small reduction in contention may tip the performance into positive scalling even for the worst case. It can be noted that in cases of high-contention, the use of the bitmask to find queues that are not empty is much less reliable. Indeed, if contention on the bitmask is high, it means it probably changes significantly between the moment it is read and the actual operation on the queues it represents. Furthermore, the objective of the bitmask is to avoid probing queues that are empty. Therefore, in cases where the bitmask is highly contented, it may be preferrable to probe queues randomly, either until contention decreases or until a prior prefetch of the bitmask completes. Ideally, the scheduler would be able to observe that the bitmask is highly contented and adjust its behaviour appropriately. However, I am not aware of any mechanism to query whether a cacheline is in cache or to run other instructions until a cacheline is fetch without blocking on the cacheline. As such, an alternative that may have a similar impact would be for each thread to have their own bitmask, which would be updated both after each scheduler action and after a certain number of failed probing. If the bitmask has little contention, the local bitmask will be mostly up-to-date and several threads won't need to contend as much on the global bitmask. If the bitmask has significant contention, then fetching it becomes more expensive and threads may as well probe randomly. This solution claims that probing randomly or against an out-of-date bitmask is equivalent.
+When the ready queue is \emph{more empty}, \ie several of the queues are empty, selecting a random queue for popping is less likely to yield a successful selection and more attempts are needed, resulting in a performance degradation.
+Figure~\ref{fig:empty} shows an example with fewer elements, where the chances of getting an empty queue is 5/7 per pick, meaning two random picks yield an item only half the time.
+Since the ready queue is not empty, the pop operation \emph{must} find an element before returning and therefore must retry.
+Note, the popping kernel thread has no work to do, but CPU cycles are wasted both for available user and kernel threads during the pop operation as the popping thread is using a CPU.
+Overall performance is therefore influenced by the contention on the underlying queues and pop performance is influenced by the item density.
+In cases where this is insufficient, another approach is to use a hiearchical data structure. Creating a tree of nodes to reduce contention has been shown to work in similar cases\cit(SNZI: Scalable NonZero Indicators)\footnote{This particular paper seems to be patented in the US. How does that affect \CFA? Can I use it in my work?}. However, this approach may lead to poorer single-threaded performance due to the inherent pointer chasing, as such, it was not considered as the first approach but as a fallback in case the bitmask approach does not satisfy the performance goals.
+This leads to four performance cases for the centralized ready-queue, as depicted in Table~\ref{tab:perfcases}.
+The number of processors (many or few) refers to the number of kernel threads \emph{actively} attempting to pop user threads from the queues, not the total number of kernel threads.
+The number of threads (many or few) refers to the number of user threads ready to be run.
+Many threads means they outnumber processors significantly and most underlying queues have items, few threads mean there are barely more threads than processors and most underlying queues are empty.
+Cases with fewer threads than processors are discussed in Section~\ref{sec:sleep}.
+\begin{table}
+        \begin{center}
+                \begin{tabular}{|r|l|l|}
+                        \cline{2-3}
+                        \multicolumn{1}{r|}{} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{Many Processors} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{Few Processors} \\
+                        \hline
+                        Many Threads & A: good performance & B: good performance \\
+                        \hline
+                        Few Threads  & C: worst performance & D: poor performance \\
+                        \hline
+                \end{tabular}
+        \end{center}
+        \caption{Expected performance of the relaxed FIFO list in different cases.}
+        \label{tab:perfcases}
+\end{table}
+Performance can be improved in case~D (Table~\ref{tab:perfcases}) by adding information to help processors find which inner queues are used.
+This addition aims to avoid the cost of retrying the pop operation but does not affect contention on the underlying queues and can incur some management cost for both push and pop operations.
+The approach used to encode this information can vary in density and be either global or local.
+\newterm{Density} means the information is either packed in a few cachelines or spread across several cachelines, and \newterm{local information} means each thread uses an independent copy instead of a single global, \ie common, source of information.
+For example, Figure~\ref{fig:emptybit} shows a dense bitmask to identify which inner queues are currently in use.
+This approach means processors can often find user threads in constant time, regardless of how many underlying queues are empty.
+Furthermore, modern x86 CPUs have extended bit manipulation instructions (BMI2) that allow using the bitmask with very little overhead compared to the randomized selection approach for a filled ready queue, offering good performance even in cases with many empty inner queues.
+However, this technique has its limits: with a single word\footnote{Word refers here to however many bits can be written atomically.} bitmask, the total number of underlying queues in the ready queue is limited to the number of bits in the word.
+With a multi-word bitmask, this maximum limit can be increased arbitrarily, but it is not possible to check if the queue is empty by reading the bitmask atomically.
+Finally, a dense bitmap, either single or multi-word, causes additional problems in case C (Table 1), because many processors are continuously scanning the bitmask to find the few available threads.
+This increased contention on the bitmask(s) reduces performance because of cache misses after updates and the bitmask is updated more frequently by the scanning processors racing to read and/or update that information.
+This increased update frequency means the information in the bitmask is more often stale before a processor can use it to find an item, \ie mask read says there are available user threads but none on queue.

+        \end{center}
+        \caption{``More empty'' queue with added bitmask to indicate which array cells have items.}
+        \label{fig:emptybit}
+\end{figure}
+Figure~\ref{fig:emptytree} shows another approach using a hierarchical tree data-structure to reduce contention and has been shown to work in similar cases~\cite{ellen2007snzi}\footnote{This particular paper seems to be patented in the US.
+How does that affect \CFA? Can I use it in my work?}.
+However, this approach may lead to poorer performance in case~B (Table~\ref{tab:perfcases}) due to the inherent pointer chasing cost and already low contention cost in that case.
+\begin{figure}

+                {\resizebox{0.8\textwidth}{!}{\input{emptytree}}}
+        \end{center}
+        \caption{``More empty'' queue with added binary search tree indicate which array cells have items.}
+        \label{fig:emptytree}
+\end{figure}
+Finally, a third approach is to use dense information, similar to the bitmap, but have each thread keep its own independent copy of it.
+While this approach can offer good scalability \emph{and} low latency, the liveliness of the information can become a problem.
+In the simple cases, local copies of which underlying queues are empty can become stale and end-up not being useful for the pop operation.
+A more serious problem is that reliable information is necessary for some parts of this algorithm to be correct.
+As mentioned in this section, processors must know \emph{reliably} whether the list is empty or not to decide if they can return \texttt{NULL} or if they must keep looking during a pop operation.
+Section~\ref{sec:sleep} discusses another case where reliable information is required for the algorithm to be correct.
+\begin{figure}
+        \begin{center}
+                \input{emptytls}
+        \end{center}
+        \caption{``More empty'' queue with added per processor bitmask to indicate which array cells have items.}
+        \label{fig:emptytls}
+\end{figure}
+There is a fundamental tradeoff among these approach.
+Dense global information about empty underlying queues helps zero-contention cases at the cost of high-contention case.
+Sparse global information helps high-contention cases but increases latency in zero-contention-cases, to read and ``aggregate'' the information\footnote{Hierarchical structures, \eg binary search tree, effectively aggregate information but follow pointer chains, learning information at each node.
+Similarly, other sparse schemes need to read multiple cachelines to acquire all the information needed.}.
+Finally, dense local information has both the advantages of low latency in zero-contention cases and scalability in high-contention cases, however the information can become stale making it difficult to use to ensure correctness.
+The fact that these solutions have these fundamental limits suggest to me a better solution that attempts to combine these properties in an interesting ways.
+Also, the lock discussed in Section~\ref{sec:resize} allows for solutions that adapt to the number of processors, which could also prove useful.
+Part of this performance relies on contention being low when there are few threads on the readyqueue. However, this can be assumed reliably if the system handles putting idle processors to sleep, which is addressed in section \ref{sleep}.
 \paragraph{Objectives and Existing Work}
+How much scalability is actually needed is highly debatable, libfibre\cit is has compared favorably to other schedulers in webserver tests\cit and uses a single atomic counter in its scheduling algorithm similarly to the proposed bitmask. As such the single atomic instruction on a shared cacheline may be sufficiently performant.
+How much scalability is actually needed is highly debatable.
+\emph{libfibre}\cite{libfibre} has compared favorably to other schedulers in webserver tests\cite{karstenuser} and uses a single atomic counter in its scheduling algorithm similarly to the proposed bitmask.
+As such, the single atomic instruction on a shared cacheline may be sufficiently performant.
+I have built a prototype of this ready-queue (including the bitmask and BMI2 usage, but not the sharded bitmask) and ran performance experiments on it but it is difficult to compare this prototype to a thread scheduler as the prototype is used as a data-queue. I have also integrated this prototype into the \CFA runtime, but have not yet created performance experiments to compare results. I believe that the bitmask approach is currently one of the larger risks of the proposal, early tests lead me to believe it may work but it is not clear that the contention problem can be overcome. The worst-case scenario is a case where the number of processors and the number of ready threads are similar, yet scheduling events are very frequent. Fewer threads should lead to the Idle Sleep mechanism reducing contention while having many threads ready leads to optimal performance. It is difficult to evaluate the likeliness of this worst-case scenario in real workloads. I believe, frequent scheduling events suggest a more ``bursty'' workload where new work is finely divided among many threads which race to completion. This type of workload would only see a peek of contention close to the end of the work, but no sustained contention. Very fine-grained pipelines are less ``bursty'', these may lead to more sustained contention. However, they could also easily benefit from a direct hand-off strategy which would circumvent the problem entirely.
+I have built a prototype of this ready queue in the shape of a data queue, \ie nodes on the queue are structures with a single int representing a thread and intrusive data fields.
+Using this prototype I ran preliminary performance experiments that confirm the expected performance in Table~\ref{tab:perfcases}.
+However, these experiments only offer a hint at the actual performance of the scheduler since threads form more complex operations than simple integer nodes, \eg threads are not independent of each other, when a thread blocks some other thread must intervene to wake it.
+\subsection{Dynamic Resizing}
+The \CFA runtime system currently handles dynamically adding and removing processors from clusters at any time. Since this is part of the existing design, the proposed scheduler must also support this behaviour. However, dynamicly resizing the clusters is considered a rare event associated with setup, teardown and major configuration changes. This assumptions is made both in the design of the proposed scheduler as well as in the original design of the \CFA runtime system. As such, the proposed scheduler must honor the correctness of these behaviour but does not have any performance objectives with regards to resizing a cluster. How long adding or removing processors take and how much this disrupts the performance of other threads is considered a secondary concern since it should be amortized over long period of times. This description effectively matches with te description of a Reader-Writer lock, in frequent but invasive updates among frequent (mostly) read operations. In the case of the Ready-Queue described above, read operations are operations that push or pop from the ready-queue but do not invalidate any references to the ready queue data structures. Writes on the other-hand would add or remove inner queues, invalidating references to the array of inner queues in the process. Therefore, the current proposed approach to this problem is the add a per-cluster Reader Writer lock around the ready queue to prevent restructuring of the ready-queue data structure while threads are being pushed or popped.
+I have also integrated this prototype into the \CFA runtime, but have not yet created performance experiments to compare results, as creating one-to-one comparisons between the prototype and the \CFA runtime will be complex.

+Threads on a cluster are always scheduled on one of the processors of the cluster.
+Currently, the runtime handles dynamically adding and removing processors from clusters at any time.
+Since this is part of the existing design, the proposed scheduler must also support this behaviour.
+However, dynamically resizing a cluster is considered a rare event associated with setup, tear down and major configuration changes.
+This assumption is made both in the design of the proposed scheduler as well as in the original design of the \CFA runtime system.
+As such, the proposed scheduler must honour the correctness of this behaviour but does not have any performance objectives with regard to resizing a cluster.
+How long adding or removing processors take and how much this disrupts the performance of other threads is considered a secondary concern since it should be amortized over long period of times.
+However, as mentioned in Section~\ref{sec:queue}, contention on the underlying queues can have a direct impact on performance.
+The number of underlying queues must therefore be adjusted as the number of processors grows or shrinks.
+Since the underlying queues are stored in a dense array, changing the number of queues requires resizing the array and expanding the array requires moving it, which can introduce memory reclamation problems if not done correctly.
+\begin{figure}
+        \begin{center}
+                \input{resize}
+        \end{center}
+        \caption{Copy of data structure shown in Figure~\ref{fig:base}.}
+        \label{fig:base2}
+\end{figure}
+It is important to note how the array is used in this case.
+While the array cells are modified by every push and pop operation, the array itself, \ie the pointer that would change when resized, is only read during these operations.
+Therefore the use of this pointer can be described as frequent reads and infrequent writes.
+This description effectively matches with the description of a reader-writer lock, infrequent but invasive updates among frequent read operations.
+In the case of the ready queue described above, read operations are operations that push or pop from the ready queue but do not invalidate any references to the ready queue data structures.
+Writes on the other hand would add or remove inner queues, invalidating references to the array of inner queues in a process.
+Therefore, the current proposed approach to this problem is to add a per-cluster reader-writer lock around the ready queue to prevent restructuring of the ready-queue data-structure while threads are being pushed or popped.
+There are possible alternatives to the reader-writer lock solution.
+This problem is effectively a memory reclamation problem and as such there is a large body of research on the subject\cite{michael2004hazard, brown2015reclaiming}.
+However, the reader-write lock-solution is simple and can be leveraged to solve other problems (\eg processor ordering and memory reclamation of threads), which makes it an attractive solution.

 \paragraph{Objectives and Existing Work}
+The lock must offer scalability and performance on par with the actual ready-queue in order not to introduce a new bottleneck.
+I have already built a lock that fits the desired requirements and preliminary testing show scalability and performance that exceed the target.
+As such, I do not consider this lock to be a risk for this project.

+\subsection{Idle Sleep} \label{sleep}
+As mentionned above, idle sleep is the process of putting processors to sleep while they do not have threads to execute. In this context processors are kernel-threads and sleeping refers to asking the kernel to block a thread. This can be achieved with either thread synchronization operations like pthread\_cond\_wait or using signal operations like sigsuspend.
+\newterm{Idle sleep} is the process of putting processors to sleep when they have no threads to execute.
+In this context, processors are kernel threads and sleeping refers to asking the kernel to block a thread.
+This operation can be achieved with either thread synchronization operations like $pthread_cond_wait$ or using signal operations like $sigsuspend$.
+The goal of putting idle processors to sleep is:
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item
+reduce contention on the ready queue, since the otherwise idle processors generally contend trying to pop items from the queue,
+\item
+give back unneeded CPU time associated with a process to other user processors executing on the computer,
+\item
+and reduce energy consumption in cases where more idle kernel-threads translate to idle CPUs, which can cycle down.
+\end{enumerate}
+Support for idle sleep broadly involves calling the operating system to block the kernel thread and handling the race between a blocking thread and the waking thread, and handling which kernel thread should sleep or wake up.
+Support for idle sleep broadly involves calling the operating system to block the kernel thread but also handling the race between the sleeping and the waking up, and handling which kernel thread should sleep or wake-up.
+When a processor decides to sleep, there is a race that occurs between it signalling that is going to sleep (so other processors can find sleeping processors) and actually blocking the kernel thread.
+This operation is equivalent to the classic problem of missing signals when using condition variables: the ``sleepy'' processor indicates its intention to block but has not yet gone to sleep when another processor attempts to wake it up.
+The waking-up operation sees the blocked process and signals it, but the blocking process is racing to sleep so the signal is missed.
+In cases where kernel threads are managed as processors on the current cluster, loosing signals is not necessarily critical, because at least some processors on the cluster are awake and may check for more processors eventually.
+Individual processors always finish scheduling user threads before looking for new work, which means that the last processor to go to sleep cannot miss threads scheduled from inside the cluster (if they do, that demonstrates the ready queue is not linearizable).
+However, this guarantee does not hold if threads are scheduled from outside the cluster, either due to an external event like timers and I/O, or due to a user (or kernel) thread migrating from a different cluster.
+In this case, missed signals can lead to the cluster deadlocking\footnote{Clusters should only deadlock in cases where a \CFA programmer \emph{actually} write \CFA code that leads to a deadlock.}.
+Therefore, it is important that the scheduling of threads include a mechanism where signals \emph{cannot} be missed.
+For performance reasons, it can be advantageous to have a secondary mechanism that allows signals to be missed in cases where it cannot lead to a deadlock.
+To be safe, this process must include a ``handshake'' where it is guaranteed that either~: the sleeping processor notices that a user thread is scheduled after the sleeping processor signalled its intent to block or code scheduling threads sees the intent to sleep before scheduling and be able to wake-up the processor.
+This matter is complicated by the fact that pthreads and Linux offer few tools to implement this solution and no guarantee of ordering of threads waking up for most of these tools.

This is equivalent to the classic problem of missing signals when using condition variables, the ``sleepy'' processor indicates that it will sleep but has not yet gone to sleep, if another processor attempts to wake it up, the waking-up operation may claim nothing needs to be done and the signal will have been missed.

In this case, missed signals can lead to the cluster deadlocking where it should not\footnote{Clusters ``should'' never deadlock, but for this proposal, cases where \CFA users \emph{actually} wrote \CFA code that leads to a deadlock it is considered as a deadlock that ``should'' happen. }.

This matter is complicated by the fact that pthread offers few tools to implement this solution and offers no guarantee of ordering of threads waking up for most of these tools.
+Another important issue is avoiding kernel threads sleeping and waking frequently because there is a significant operating-system cost.
+This scenario happens when a program oscillates between high and low activity, needing most and then less processors.
+A possible partial solution is to order the processors so that the one which most recently went to sleep is woken up.
+This allows other sleeping processors to reach deeper sleep state (when these are available) while keeping ``hot'' processors warmer.
+Note that while this generally means organizing the processors in a stack, I believe that the unique index provided in my reader-writer lock can be reused to strictly order the waking processors, causing a mostly LIFO order.
+While a strict LIFO stack is probably better, the processor index could prove useful for other reasons, while still offering a sufficiently LIFO ordering.

+A final important aspect of idle sleep is when should processors make the decision to sleep and when is it appropriate for sleeping processors to be woken up.
+Processors that are unnecessarily unblocked lead to unnecessary contention, CPU usage, and power consumption, while too many sleeping processors can lead to sub-optimal throughput.
+Furthermore, transitions from sleeping to awake and vice-versa also add unnecessary latency.
+There is already a wealth of research on the subject\cite{schillings1996engineering, wiki:thunderherd} and I may use an existing approach for the idle-sleep heuristic in this project, \eg\cite{karstenuser}.

 \subsection{Asynchronous I/O}
+The final aspect of this proposal is asynchronous I/O.
+Without it, user threads that execute I/O operations block the underlying kernel thread, which leads to poor throughput.
+It is preferable to block the user thread performing the I/O and reuse the underlying kernel-thread to run other ready user threads.
+This approach requires intercepting user-thread calls to I/O operations, redirecting them to an asynchronous I/O interface, and handling the multiplexing/demultiplexing between the synchronous and asynchronous API.
+As such, there are three components needed to implemented support for asynchronous I/O:
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item
+an OS abstraction layer over the asynchronous interface,
+\item
+an event-engine to (de)multiplex the operations,
+\item
+and a synchronous interface for users to use.
+\end{enumerate}
+None of these components currently exist in \CFA and I will need to build all three for this project.

None of these components currently exist in \CFA and I will need to build all three for this project.
 \paragraph{OS Abstraction}
+One fundamental part for converting blocking I/O operations into non-blocking ones is having an underlying asynchronous I/O interface to direct the I/O operations.
+While there exists many different APIs for asynchronous I/O, it is not part of this proposal to create a novel API.
+It is sufficient to make one work in the complex context of the \CFA runtime.
+\uC uses the $select$\cite{select} as its interface, which handles ttys, pipes and sockets, but not disk.
+$select$ entails significant complexity and is being replaced in UNIX operating-systems, which make it a less interesting alternative.
+Another popular interface is $epoll$\cite{epoll}, which is supposed to be cheaper than $select$.
+However, $epoll$ also does not handle the file system and anectodal evidence suggest it has problem with linux pipes and $TTY$s.
+A popular cross-platform alternative is $libuv$\cite{libuv}, which offers asynchronous sockets and asynchronous file system operations (among other features).
+However, as a full-featured library it includes much more than I need and could conflict with other features of \CFA unless significant effort is made to merge them together.
+A very recent alternative that I am investigating is $io_uring$\cite{io_uring}.
+It claims to address some of the issues with $epoll$ and my early investigating suggest that the claim is accurate.
+$io_uring$ uses a much more general approach where system calls are register to a queue and later executed by the kernel, rather than relying on system calls to return an error instead of blocking and subsequently waiting for changes on file descriptors.
+I believe this approach allows for fewer problems, \eg the manpage for $open$\cite{open} states:
+\begin{quote}
+        Note that [the $O_NONBLOCK$ flag] has no effect for regular files and block devices;
+        that is, I/O operations will (briefly) block when device activity is required, regardless of whether $O_NONBLOCK$ is set.
+        Since $O_NONBLOCK$ semantics might eventually be implemented, applications should not depend upon blocking behavior when specifying this flag for regular files and block devices.
+\end{quote}
+This makes approach based on $epoll$/$select$ less reliable since they may not work for every file descriptors.
+For this reason, I plan to use $io_uring$ as the OS abstraction for the \CFA runtime, unless further work shows problems I haven't encountered yet.
+However, only a small subset of the features are available in Ubuntu as of April 2020\cite{wiki:ubuntu-linux}, which will limit performance comparisons.
+I do not believe this will affect the comparison result.
+One of the fundamental part of this converting blocking I/O operations into non-blocking ones. This relies on having an underlying asynchronous I/O interface to which to direct the I/O operations. While there exists many different APIs for asynchronous I/O, it is not part of this proposal to create a novel API, simply to use an existing one that is sufficient. uC++ uses the \texttt{select} as its interface, which handles pipes and sockets. It entails significant complexity and has performances problems which make it a less interesting alternative. Another interface which is becoming popular recently\cit is \texttt{epoll}. However, epoll also does not handle file system and seems to have problem to linux pipes and \texttt{TTY}s\cit. A very recent alternative that must still be investigated is \texttt{io\_uring}. It claims to address some of the issues with \texttt{epoll} but is too recent to be confident that it does. Finally, a popular cross-platform alternative is \texttt{libuv}, which offers asynchronous sockets and asynchronous file system operations (among other features). However, as a full-featured library it includes much more than what is needed and could conflict with other features of \CFA unless significant efforts are made to merge them together.
+\paragraph{Event Engine}
+Laying on top of the asynchronous interface layer is the event engine.
+This engine is responsible for multiplexing (batching) the synchronous I/O requests into asynchronous I/O requests and demultiplexing the results to appropriate blocked user threads.
+This step can be straightforward for simple cases, but becomes quite complex when there are thousands of user threads performing both reads and writes, possibly on overlapping file descriptors.
+Decisions that need to be made include:
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item
+whether to poll from a separate kernel thread or a regularly scheduled user thread,
+\item
+what should be the ordering used when results satisfy many requests,
+\item
+how to handle threads waiting for multiple operations, etc.
+\end{enumerate}
+\paragraph{Event-Engine}
+Laying on top of the asynchronous interface layer is the event-engine. This engine is responsible for multiplexing (batching) the synchronous I/O requests into an asynchronous I/O request and demultiplexing the results onto appropriate blocked threads. This can be straightforward for the simple cases, but can become quite complex. Decisions that will need to be made include : whether to poll from a seperate kernel thread or a regularly scheduled user thread, what should be the ordering used when results satisfy many requests, how to handle threads waiting for multiple operations, etc.
 \paragraph{Interface}
+Finally, for these non-blocking I/O components to be available, it is necessary to expose them through a synchronous interface because that is the \CFA concurrent programming style.
+The interface can be novel but it is preferable to match the existing POSIX interface when possible to be compatible with existing code.
+Matching allows C programs written using this interface to be transparently converted to \CFA with minimal effort.
+Where new functionality is needed, I will create a novel interface to fill gaps and provide advanced features.
+Finally, for these components to be available, it is necessary to expose them through a synchronous interface. This can be a novel interface but it is preferrable to attempt to intercept the existing POSIX interface in order to be compatible with existing code. This will allow C programs written using this interface to be transparently converted to \CFA with minimal effeort. Where this is not applicable, a novel interface will be created to fill the gaps.

 \section{Discussion}
+I believe that runtime system and scheduling are still open topics.
+Many ``state of the art'' production frameworks still use single threaded event-loops because of performance considerations, \eg \cite{nginx-design}, and, to my knowledge, no wideyl available system language offers modern threading facilities.
+I believe the proposed work offers a novel runtime and scheduling package, where existing work only offers fragments that users must assemble themselves when possible.

 Even with all its problems, C continues to be popular because it allows writing software at virtually any level in a computer system without restriction.
 For system programming, where direct access to hardware, storage management, and real-time issues are a requirement, C is usually the only language of choice.

 \section{Exponentiation Operator}
 C, \CC, and Java (and many other programming languages) have no exponentiation operator\index{exponentiation!operator}\index{operator!exponentiation}, \ie $x^y$, and instead use a routine, like \Indexc{pow(x,y)}, to perform the exponentiation operation.
 \CFA extends the basic operators with the exponentiation operator ©?®\®?©\index{?\\?@©?®\®?©} and ©?\=?©\index{?\\=?@©®\®=?©}, as in, ©x ®\® y© and ©x ®\®= y©, which means $x^y$ and $x \leftarrow x^y$.
+C, \CC, and Java (and many other programming languages) have no exponentiation operator\index{exponentiation!operator}\index{operator!exponentiation}, \ie $x^y$, and instead use a routine, like \Indexc{pow}, to perform the exponentiation operation.
+\CFA extends the basic operators with the exponentiation operator ©?\?©\index{?\\?@©?\?©} and ©?\=?©\index{?\\=?@©\=?©}, as in, ©x \ y© and ©x \= y©, which means $x^y$ and $x \leftarrow x^y$.
 The priority of the exponentiation operator is between the cast and multiplicative operators, so that ©w * (int)x \ (int)y * z© is parenthesized as ©((w * (((int)x) \ ((int)y))) * z)©.
 There are exponentiation operators for integral and floating types, including the builtin \Index{complex} types.
+As for \Index{division}, there are exponentiation operators for integral and floating types, including the builtin \Index{complex} types.
 Integral exponentiation\index{exponentiation!unsigned integral} is performed with repeated multiplication\footnote{The multiplication computation is $O(\log y)$.} (or shifting if the exponent is 2).
 Overflow for a large exponent or negative exponent returns zero.
+Overflow from large exponents or negative exponents return zero.
 Floating exponentiation\index{exponentiation!floating} is performed using \Index{logarithm}s\index{exponentiation!logarithm}, so the exponent cannot be negative.

+C restricts the ©case© clause of a ©switch© statement to a single value.
+For multiple ©case© clauses associated with the same statement, it is necessary to have multiple ©case© clauses rather than multiple values.

+The up-to range ©~©\index{~@©~©} means exclusive range [M,N).
+\item
+The up-to range ©~=©\index{~=@©~=©} means inclusive range [M,N].
+\item
+The down-to range ©-~©\index{-~@©-~©} means exclusive range [N,M).
+\item
+The down-to range ©-~=©\index{-~=@©-~=©} means inclusive range [N,M].
+\item
+©@© means put nothing in this field.
+\item
+©0© is the implicit start value;
+\item
+©1© is the implicit increment value.
+\item
+The up-to range uses ©+=© for increment;
+\item
+The down-to range uses ©-=© for decrement.
+\item
+The loop index is polymorphic in the type of the start value or comparison value when start is implicitly ©0©.

+\caption{Allocation Routines versus Storage-Management Capabilities}
+\label{t:AllocationVersusCapabilities}
+\end{table}
+\CFA memory management extends the type safety of all allocations by using the type of the left-hand-side type to determine the allocation size and return a matching type for the new storage.
+Type-safe allocation is provided for all C allocation routines and new \CFA allocation routines, \eg in
+\begin{cfa}
+int * ip = (int *)malloc( sizeof(int) );                §\C{// C}§
+int * ip = malloc();                                                    §\C{// \CFA type-safe version of C malloc}§
+int * ip = alloc();                                                             §\C{// \CFA type-safe uniform alloc}§
+\end{cfa}
+the latter two allocations determine the allocation size from the type of ©p© (©int©) and cast the pointer to the allocated storage to ©int *©.
+\CFA memory management extends allocation safety by implicitly honouring all alignment requirements, \eg in
+\begin{cfa}
+struct S { int i; } __attribute__(( aligned( 128 ) )); // cache-line alignment
+S * sp = malloc();                                                              §\C{// honour type alignment}§
+\end{cfa}
+the storage allocation is implicitly aligned to 128 rather than the default 16.
+The alignment check is performed at compile time so there is no runtime cost.
+\CFA memory management extends the resize capability with the notion of \newterm{sticky properties}.
+Hence, initial allocation capabilities are remembered and maintained when resize requires copying.
+For example, an initial alignment and fill capability are preserved during a resize copy so the copy has the same alignment and extended storage is filled.
+Without sticky properties it is dangerous to use ©realloc©, resulting in an idiom of manually performing the reallocation to maintain correctness.
+\CFA memory management extends allocation to support constructors for initialization of allocated storage, \eg in
+\begin{cfa}
+struct S { int i; };                                                    §\C{// cache-line aglinment}§
+void ?{}( S & s, int i ) { s.i = i; }
+// assume ?|? operator for printing an S
+S & sp = *®new®( 3 );                                                   §\C{// call constructor after allocation}§
+sout | sp.i;
+®delete®( &sp );
+S * spa = ®anew®( 10, 5 );                                              §\C{// allocate array and initialize each array element}§
+for ( i; 10 ) sout | spa[i] | nonl;
+sout | nl;
+®adelete®( 10, spa );
+\end{cfa}
+Allocation routines ©new©/©anew© allocate a variable/array and initialize storage using the allocated type's constructor.
+Note, the matching deallocation routines ©delete©/©adelete©.
+\end{center}
+It is impossible to resize with alignment because the underlying ©realloc© allocates storage if more space is needed, and it does not honour alignment from the original allocation.
