....collecting thread blocks. A Promise is used to compensate for the high cost of thread management in the Argus system. Although an asynchronous call can be simulated by forking a thread and having the forked thread do the cross address space call synchronously, the cost of thread creation in Argus [29] (around 20 procedure call times) precludes this approach. In URPC, the cost of thread creation is on the order of six procedure call times, and so the issue of whether to provide explicit language support for asynchronous cross address space calls becomes one largely of preference and style, ....
