'''Microthreads''' are functions that may run in [[parallel computing|parallel]]<ref>{{cite web | url = http://subdivi.de/~helmut/libmuth/tutorial.html | title = libmuth tutorial: Microthreads | author = Helmut Grohne | publisher = subdivi.de | date = 2006 | accessdate = 2017-07-26}}</ref> to gain increased performance in [[microprocessor]]s. They provide an execution model that uses a few additional [[CPU instructions|instructions]] in a conventional processor to break code down into fragments that execute simultaneously. Dependencies are managed by making [[processor registers|registers]] in the microprocessors executing the code synchronising, so one microthread will wait for another to produce data. <br />
<br />
This is a form of [[dataflow]]. This model can be applied to an existing [[instruction set architecture]] incrementally by providing just five new instructions to implement concurrency controls. A ''set'' of microthreads is a static partition of a basic block into [[concurrent processing|concurrently]] executing fragments, which execute on a single processor and share a microcontext. An ''iterator'' over a set provides a dynamic and [[parametric family]] of microthreads. Iterators capture loop concurrency and can be scheduled to different processors. An iterator over a set is created dynamically and is called a family of microthreads. This is the mechanism that allows the model to generate concurrency, which can be run on multiple processors or functional units. <br />
