Executing Multiple Futures at a Time

Up until now, we've mostly executed futures by using .await, which blocks the current task until a particular Future completes. However, real asynchronous applications often need to execute several different operations concurrently.

Executing Multiple Futures at a Time

In this chapter, we'll cover some ways to execute multiple asynchronous operations at the same time:

  • join!: waits for futures to all complete
  • select!: waits for one of several futures to complete
  • Spawning: creates a top-level task which ambiently runs a future to completion
  • FuturesUnordered: a group of futures which yields the result of each subfuture
