Meanings
-
(attributive, countable, uncountable) A pattern for parallel computing where execution parallelizes (or forks) at designated points in the program, to later merge (join) again for sequential computation.
In a fork-join paradigm, tasks are likely dependent on one another, and it turns out naively splitting them among processors will likely cause one of the processors to be underutilized.
