libdispatch
Portable implementation of Grand Central Dispatch (GCD) for concurrent code execution on multicore hardware across Swift platforms.
What is libdispatch?
swift-corelibs-libdispatch is the portable implementation of Apple's Grand Central Dispatch (GCD) for Swift platforms beyond Darwin. It provides comprehensive support for concurrent code execution on multicore hardware, enabling developers to write parallel programs that efficiently utilize multiple CPU cores. The project brings the proven GCD API to Linux and other platforms where Swift runs.
Swift developers building concurrent applications on Linux and other non-Darwin platforms, as well as maintainers of Swift core libraries who need reliable concurrency primitives.
Developers choose this implementation because it provides the familiar and powerful GCD API on platforms where Apple's native version isn't available, with seamless integration into the Swift ecosystem and ongoing support from the Swift core libraries project.
