Concurrency pattern

In software engineering, concurrency patterns are those types of design patterns that deal with the multi-threaded programming paradigm.

Examples of this class of patterns include:

• Active object^[1][2]
• Balking pattern
• Barrier
• Double-checked locking
• Guarded suspension
• Leaders/followers pattern
• Monitor object
• Nuclear reaction
• Reactor pattern
• Readers–writer lock
• Scheduler pattern
• Thread pool pattern
• Thread-local storage

• Creational pattern
• Structural pattern
