Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
PosixDispatch
A cross-platform library written in Swift 5 for multithreading based on POSIX threads. It has a similar API to Apple’s GCD and in most cases works much faster.
It consists of the following:
- PLock - wrapper for POSIX mutex, analog to NSLock
- PCondition - wrapper for POSIX condition, analog to NSCondition
- PThread - wrapper for POSIX thread, analog to Thread
- PThreadPool - thread pool implementation
- PDispatchQueue - FIFO queue for serially or concurrently executing tasks, analog to DispatchQueue
- PDispatchGroup - group of tasks for aggregation and synchronization, analog to DispatchGroup
- PDispatchSemaphore - semaphore implementation, analog to DispatchSemaphore
- PDispatchWorkItem - block wrapper, analog to DispatchWorkItem
