In the context of Apple's WWDC sessions, a "task" in Swift is a fundamental unit of concurrency that represents an independent concurrent execution context. Tasks are lightweight and can be created in large numbers, allowing for concurrent execution of code. They can perform asynchronous operations and suspend to yield the CPU to other tasks while waiting for these operations to complete. This makes tasks suitable for handling concurrent operations efficiently.
On the other hand, Grand Central Dispatch (GCD) is a lower-level API for managing concurrent code execution on multicore hardware. It provides a way to execute code asynchronously by dispatching tasks to dispatch queues, which can be either serial or concurrent. GCD handles the scheduling of these tasks, optimizing for system performance and resource utilization.
The key difference is that Swift's concurrency model, which includes tasks, is more integrated into the language itself, providing a higher-level abstraction with features like async/await, actors, and structured concurrency. This model aims to simplify the management of concurrency and make it safer by providing guarantees about data-race safety and execution context.
For more details on Swift's concurrency model, you can refer to the session A Swift Tour: Explore Swift’s features and design (18:33).
Migrate your app to Swift 6
Experience Swift 6 migration in action as we update an existing sample app. Learn how to migrate incrementally, module by module, and how the compiler helps you identify code that’s at risk of data races. Discover different techniques for ensuring clear isolation boundaries and eliminating concurrent access to shared mutable state.
Explore Swift performance
Discover how Swift balances abstraction and performance. Learn what elements of performance to consider and how the Swift optimizer affects them. Explore the different features of Swift and how they’re implemented to further understand the tradeoffs available that can impact performance.
A Swift Tour: Explore Swift’s features and design
Learn the essential features and design philosophy of the Swift programming language. We’ll explore how to model data, handle errors, use protocols, write concurrent code, and more while building up a Swift package that has a library, an HTTP server, and a command line client. Whether you’re just beginning your Swift journey or have been with us from the start, this talk will help you get the most out of the language.
Discover Swift enhancements in the Vision framework
The Vision Framework API has been redesigned to leverage modern Swift features like concurrency, making it easier and faster to integrate a wide array of Vision algorithms into your app. We’ll tour the updated API and share sample code, along with best practices, to help you get the benefits of this framework with less coding effort. We’ll also demonstrate two new features: image aesthetics and holistic body pose.
Demystify explicitly built modules
Explore how builds are changing in Xcode 16 with explicitly built modules. Discover how modules are used to build your code, how explicitly built modules improve transparency in compilation tasks, and how you can optimize your build by sharing modules across targets.
