1、dispatch_async
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{  
    NSURL * url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://avatar.csdn.net/2/C/D/1_totogo2010.jpg"];  
    NSData * data = [[NSData alloc]initWithContentsOfURL:url];  
    UIImage *image = [[UIImage alloc]initWithData:data];  
    if (data != nil) {  
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{  
            self.imageView.image = image;  
         });  
    }  
});  

2、dispatch_group_async
Dispatch group用来阻塞一个线程，直到一个或多个任务完成执行。有时候你必须等待任务完成的结果，然后才能继续后面的处理。dispatch group也可以替代线程join。

基本的流程是设置一个组，dispatch任务到queue，然后等待结果。你需要使用 dispatch_group_async 函数，会关联任务到相关的组和queue。使用 dispatch_group_wait 等待一组任务完成。

第一种用法

dispatch_queue_t queue = dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0);
dispatch_group_t group = dispatch_group_create();

// Add a task to the group
dispatch_group_async(group, queue, ^{
   // Some asynchronous work
});

// Do some other work while the tasks execute.

// When you cannot make any more forward progress,
// wait on the group to block the current thread.
dispatch_group_wait(group, DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER);

// Release the group when it is no longer needed.
dispatch_release(group);

第二种方式

dispatch_queue_t queue = dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0);
dispatch_group_t group = dispatch_group_create();
dispatch_group_async(group, queue, ^{
[NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:1];
NSLog(@"group1");
});
dispatch_group_async(group, queue, ^{
[NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:2];
NSLog(@"group2");
});
dispatch_group_async(group, queue, ^{
[NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:3];
NSLog(@"group3");
});
dispatch_group_notify(group, dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
NSLog(@"updateUi");
});
dispatch_release(group);

3、dispatch_barrier_async
dispatch_barrier_async是在前面的任务执行结束后它才执行，而且它后面的任务等它执行完成之后才会执行

dispatch_queue_t queue = dispatch_queue_create("gcdtest.rongfzh.yc", DISPATCH_QUEUE_CONCURRENT);  
dispatch_async(queue, ^{  
    [NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:2];  
    NSLog(@"dispatch_async1");  
});  
dispatch_async(queue, ^{  
    [NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:4];  
    NSLog(@"dispatch_async2");  
});  
dispatch_barrier_async(queue, ^{  
    NSLog(@"dispatch_barrier_async");  
    [NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:4];  
  
});  
dispatch_async(queue, ^{  
    [NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:1];  
    NSLog(@"dispatch_async3");  
});  

4、dispatch_apply 
执行某个代码片段N次。
dispatch_apply(5, globalQ, ^(size_t index) {
    // 执行5次
});
