24 alternatives to Preemptive Multitasking on an AVR Microcontroller
Preemptive multithreading for AVR microcontrollers. - TurkeyMcMac/avr_threads
This project implements preemptive multitasking capabilities on AVR microcontrollers, enabling multiple tasks to run concurrently on resource-constrained hardware. It is designed for developers building embedded… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. Preemptive Multitasking on an AVR Microcontroller launched in 2020; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

Tasks are a primitive for asynchronous programming and an alternative to working with threads directly. Instead of creating a thread, performing work, then waiting on it using synchronization primitives, you only define a unit of work and let a scheduler decide when and where to execute it. The threads that the scheduler uses are created once and reused for many tasks throughout the program's lifetime. In most cases, creating and executing a task requires not even a single syscall and is a significantly faster operation than creating a thread, resulting in lower latency. Furthermore, tasks…

Simple KVM lets you control multiple PCs from one mouse, keyboard and monitor(s). It is similar to Haimgel's display-switch (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29608967), but it provides a GUI which hopefully makes it a bit easier to set up. It also supports hotkeys which effectively lets you alt+tab between computers. I was surprised by the star-to-download ratio (55:400) on GitHub, so I thought I'd post it here as it might be useful to someone. Feedback welcome! Thanks, Fidel

forkrun is the culmination of a 10-year-long journey focused on "how to make shell parallelization fast". What started as a standard "fork jobs in a loop" has turned into a lock-free, CAS-retry-loop-free, SIMD-accelerated, self-tuning, NUMA aware shell-based stream parallelization engine that is (mostly) a drop-in replacement for xargs -P and GNU parallel. On my 14-core/28-thread i9-7940x, forkrun achieves: * 200,000+ batch dispatches/sec (vs ~500 for GNU Parallel) * ~95–99% CPU utilization across all 28 logical cores, even when the workload is non-existant (bash no-ops / `:`)…

Hi, I'm Daniel from Zep. I've integrated the Cursor IDE with Graphiti, our open-source temporal knowledge graph framework, to provide Cursor with persistent memory across sessions. The goal was simple: help Cursor remember your coding preferences, standards, and project specs, so you don't have to constantly remind it. Before this integration, Cursor (an AI-assisted IDE many of us already use daily) lacked a robust way to persist user context. To solve this, I used Graphiti’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which allows structured data exchange between the IDE and Graphiti's temporal…

A fun toy memory allocator (not thread safe, that's a future TODO). I also wanted to explain how I approached it, so I also wrote a tutorial blog post (~20 minute read) covering the code which you can find the link to in the README.

This project explores the integration of multithreading into the asyncio event loop in Python. While this was initially built with enhancing CPU utilization for FastAPI servers in mind, the approach can be used with more general async programs too. If you’re interested in diving deeper into the details, I’ve written a blog post about it here: https://www.neilbotelho.com/blog/multithreaded-async.html

This project contains no code from Linux, BSD, Minix, or any other OS. Everything up until this point is written entirely from scratch, including a pure microkernel (that only implements multiprocessor priority scheduling, memory management, and interprocess communication), a work-in-progress implementation of the standard C library, and a variety of servers that provide drivers and other essential OS functionality. At the time of writing this post, the servers provide drivers for the keyboard, NVMe SSDs (that works on real hardware), a Unix-like virtual file system (with a single root…

This project launches multiple independent programs into a single shared virtual address space, while still behaving like separate processes (independent binaries, globals, and lifetimes). When threadprocs share their address space, pointers are valid across them with no code changes for well-behaved Linux binaries. Unlike threads, each threadproc is a standalone and semi-isolated process. Unlike dlopen-based plugin systems, threadprocs run traditional executables with a `main()` function. Unlike POSIX processes, pointers remain valid across threadprocs because they share the same address…
