"Wait-Free" is a term used in computer science to describe a type of algorithm or data structure that guarantees that every operation will complete in a finite number of steps, regardless of the actions of other operations. This means that even if multiple processes are trying to access shared resources simultaneously, each operation will finish without being delayed by others. In a wait-free system, there are no locks or waiting periods involved, which helps to avoid issues like deadlock or starvation. This property is particularly important in concurrent programming, where multiple threads or processes operate at the same time, ensuring that all operations can proceed efficiently and predictably.
