Wait-Free Algorithms

Wait-free algorithms are a type of concurrent programming method designed to ensure that every process or thread can complete its task in a finite number of steps, no matter what other processes are doing. This means each operation progresses independently without getting stuck waiting for others, reducing delays and increasing efficiency. Think of it like a system where every person can complete their individual task without waiting for someone else to finish, ensuring smooth and fair execution in environments with multiple tasks running simultaneously.
