Why Use Non Blocking?

Why non-blocking IO? The main benefit of non-blocking IO is that we need less threads to handle the same amount of IO requests. When multiple calls to IO are done using blocking IO, for each call a new thread is created. A thread costs around 1MB, and there are some costs due to context switching.

Why do we use non-blocking in block?

Always use blocking assignments (=) in always blocks intended to create combinational logic. Always use non-blocking assignments (<=) in always blocks intended to create registers.
