Tokio is an asynchronous runtime for the Rust programming language, designed to manage and execute concurrent tasks efficiently. It provides a multi-threaded execution environment that schedules lightweight tasks across available processor cores, utilizing a work-stealing scheduler to balance computational load. By employing a poll-based execution model and waker-based notifications, the runtime drives asynchronous operations forward without requiring active polling loops, ensuring efficient resource utilization. The project distinguishes itself through a comprehensive suite of tools for high
The runtime uses waker handles to notify the executor that a task is ready to resume work, signaling when external resources complete their operations.
