Preparing Data Transmission

• Inside Web Worker Thread MutationTransfer.ts, create a transferSync layer.
• Add a key TransferrableKeys.synchronous.

Transmitting Data

Whenever we need a synchronous operation,

• Allocate a SharedArrayBuffer inside transferSync.
• Run Atomic.wait() at the main thread.
• Run the calculation at the corresponding processor on the main thread.
• Pass the data into the received SharedArrayBuffer.
• Unfreeze the Web Worker thread with Atomic.notify().
