//1.使用GCD进行线程处理  ----dispatch_async 使用,避免界面处理耗时的操作时候卡死，先进行线程操作，然后通知主线程更新界面

    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
          //线程操作
        NSInteger row = [indexPath row];
        NSString *str = [self.array objectAtIndex:row];
        
        NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:str];
        
        NSData *imageData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
        
        UIImage *image = [[UIImage alloc]initWithData:imageData];
        
        if (image != nil) {
            
            dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
                
                cell.imageView.image = image;
                
                [cell.activityIndicatorView stopAnimating];
                
                //这里是不能用reloadData的，虽然更新了界面，但是你会发现很多的线程，导致app崩溃。
                //[self.tableView reloadData];
                //更新界面的操作
            });
        }
        
    
    });

 //2 使用GCD进行线程处理      //dispatch_group_async可以监听一组事件是否完成，完成之后再通知执行其他的操作
    dispatch_queue_t queue = dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0);
    dispatch_group_t group = dispatch_group_create();
    
    
    __block UIImage *image;
    dispatch_group_async(group, queue, ^{
        NSInteger row = [indexPath row];
        NSString *str = [self.array objectAtIndex:row];
        
        NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:str];
        
        NSData *imageData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
        
     image = [[UIImage alloc]initWithData:imageData];
        
        
    });
    //只有上面的操作完成之后，才能进行下面的更新操作。
    
    dispatch_group_notify(group, queue, ^{
    
        cell.imageView.image = image;
        
        [cell.activityIndicatorView stopAnimating];
    
    });

    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];

    });

4、dispatch_apply 

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