A blocking operation halts the evaluation of the future, and will not allow it to continue until it is touched.

A synchronized operation also halts the future, but the runtime thread may perform the operation at any time and, once completed, the future may continue running in parallel. Memory allocation and JIT compilation are two common examples of synchronized operations." (page-break) "another page"))))
