Control.Concurrent.Classy
Description
Classy concurrency.
Concurrency is "lightweight", which means that both thread creation and context switching overheads are extremely low. Scheduling of Haskell threads is done internally in the Haskell runtime system, and doesn't make use of any operating system-supplied thread packages.
Haskell threads can communicate via MVars, a kind of synchronised
mutable variable (see Control.Concurrent.Classy.MVar). Several
common concurrency abstractions can be built from MVars, and
these are provided by the Control.Concurrent.Classy
library. Threads may also communicate via exceptions.
