| • Pthreads: | Native Unix multitasker |
Gforth offers two multitaskers: a traditional, cooperative round-robin multitasker, and a pthread-based multitasker which allows to run several threads concurrently on multi-core machines. The pthread-based is now marked as experimental feature, as standardization of Forth multitaskers will likely change the names of words without changing their semantics.
