How many types of operating system spawning are there in use?
Spawn refers to a function that loads and executes a new child process. The current process may or may not continue to execute asynchronously. Creating a new subprocess requires enough memory in which both the child process and the current program can execute. I think you can find 13 Spawning Computations Remotely.
