Using Multithreading in the Browser
summary
Talk explains how concurrency and multithreading have arrived in front-end web development and how to use them in the browser. It compares when to use task-based concurrency or true multithreading (e.g., Web Workers) and when WebGL might be a better option. The talk shows practical examples of implementing multithreaded processing in the browser and how to measure whether it delivers meaningful performance benefits.
